What Is Minor Surgery?

Minor surgery refers to small, low-risk procedures performed right in the clinic, usually using a local anesthetic to numb the area. These procedures are quick, don't require a hospital, and typically let you head home the same day with simple aftercare.

Common Lumps, Bumps & Skin Concerns We Treat

After an assessment, our team can often remove or treat concerns such as:

• Cysts (including sebaceous cysts)
• Lipomas (soft fatty lumps)
• Skin tags
• Moles and other skin lesions
• Warts
• Ingrown toenails
• Abscesses that need draining

Every case starts with an assessment, so your physician can recommend the safest, most appropriate approach for you.

Should You Get a Lump Checked?

The short answer is yes, it's always worth having a new or changing lump looked at. The large majority turn out to be harmless, but only a proper medical assessment can confirm that, and getting it checked early gives you peace of mind. If something is growing, changing colour, painful, or simply bothering you, that's reason enough to book a visit. If you're ever unsure, Alberta's Health Link line (811) can also offer guidance.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Most minor procedures are quick and comfortable. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, your physician removes or treats the concern, and in many cases the tissue is sent to a lab for testing to be thorough. You'll go home the same day with clear aftercare instructions and any follow-up plan you need.

Why Choose In-Clinic Minor Surgery?

Having a minor procedure done at the clinic means avoiding long hospital waitlists, staying in a familiar and comfortable setting, and getting continuity of care from a team that already knows you. It's a simpler, less stressful way to take care of something that's been on your mind.
