    Minor Surgeries

    Uploaded by

    Minor surgery involves short surgical procedures on superficial tissues using local anesthesia and simple instruments like scalpels, forceps, and sutures. The type of suture used depends on factors like the wound site, type, and patient characteristics, with absorbable sutures used for deep or non-removable procedures and non-absorbable sutures for removable skin sutures or structures requiring tension. Local anesthesia techniques include angular, perilesional, and linear infiltration, while common incision types are linear and elliptical.

    Minor Surgery

    Definition

    Minor surgery is defined as a set of procedures in which short


    surgical techniques are applied on superficial tissues.

    Local anaesthesia is often required for these procedures and their


    complication-rate as well as the risk involved is low.

    The size and type of


    suture will be
    selected depending
    on the anatomical
    site, the type of
    wound and on the
    patients features
    Sutures cont.

    Non-absorbable: They are used for skin wounds in which


    stitches that are to be removed or for internal structures that must
    maintain a constant tension (like tendons and ligaments). Eg:

    1. Silk: Suitable for skin suture and for removable sutures in general.

    2. Nylon: Indicated for precise skin sutures and internal structures that must
    maintain constant tension (e.g. tendons).

    3. Polypropylene: Indicated in continuous intradermal skin closure


    Absorbable: They are used for deep or non-removable suturing)
    Eg:

    1. Polyglactin 910: Indicated in dermal suturing, subcutaneous tissue, deep


    suturing and ligatures of small vessels.

    2. Polyglycolic acid: its indications are similar to the previous
