Minor surgical procedures are small operations that we at Complete Family & Urgent Care perform to fix or remove something from the body. These surgeries are usually quick, often taking less than an hour which means you don't have to go to the emergency room. Most times, local anesthesia is used, so only the part being operated on is numb. This is different from major surgeries which might need general anesthesia, making you sleep completely. After the procedure, you can often go home the same day. These surgeries have a low risk of complications. Common examples include removing moles, stitches etc. Recovery is usually fast, and you might just need over-the-counter painkillers. Always follow our doctor's advice after the procedure for the best healing.
