Our Minor Operation Theatre is a clean, sterile room for small procedures under local anaesthesia. Instruments are sterilised in an autoclave. Most patients go home within an hour.
Which minor procedures are done at the clinic?
Common procedures include stitching cuts and wounds, draining abscesses (boils with pus), removing corns and calluses, removing ingrown toenails, repairing torn or stretched ear lobes, and removing foreign bodies from the nose or ear.
The doctor examines you first to make sure the procedure is suitable for a clinic setting. Larger operations are referred to the clinic's consulting laparoscopic surgeons for further advice.
How is safety and hygiene maintained?
The procedure room is kept separate and clean, and instruments are sterilised in an autoclave before use. Single-use items such as needles and syringes are not reused.
Procedures are done under local anaesthesia, so you stay awake and comfortable. Trained nursing staff help with dressing and aftercare.
Torn ear-lobe repair and ingrown toenail treatment
Ear lobes often tear or stretch from heavy earrings. A torn ear lobe can be repaired with a small stitched procedure under local anaesthesia. The doctor will advise when it is safe to pierce and wear earrings again.
An ingrown toenail that keeps getting infected can be treated by removing the ingrown part of the nail. This relieves pain and helps prevent the problem from coming back.
