Clinic-Based Surgical Procedures We Offer

Common Outpatient Surgical Services

Many surgical conditions do not require a hospital stay and can be effectively managed in our advanced clinic setting. Dr. Heba Hamed specializes in a variety of such procedures, including:

  • Excision of Skin Lesions: Safe removal of moles, cysts (e.g., sebaceous cysts, epidermoid cysts), lipomas (benign fatty tumors), skin tags, and other benign skin growths. Biopsy may be performed if necessary.
  • Abscess Incision and Drainage: Treatment for localized infections (abscesses) by draining pus and relieving pain.
  • Wound Care and Management: Cleaning, debridement (removal of dead tissue), and dressing of acute and chronic wounds, including minor burns or lacerations. Suturing (stitching) of minor cuts.
  • Ingrown Toenail Removal: Minor surgical procedure to alleviate pain and infection caused by ingrown toenails.
  • Foreign Body Removal: Extraction of superficial foreign objects embedded in the skin or soft tissues.
  • Biopsies: Taking small tissue samples (e.g., skin biopsy, lymph node biopsy if superficial) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Haemorrhoid Treatment (Non-operative/Minimally Invasive): Consultation and certain clinic-based treatments for haemorrhoids, such as banding or sclerotherapy, depending on the case.
  • Varicose Vein Assessment: Initial consultation and assessment for varicose veins, with discussion of treatment options (some minimally invasive options might be available or referral if needed).
  • Hernia Assessment: Diagnosis and consultation for various types of hernias (e.g., inguinal, umbilical), with discussion of surgical options (major hernia repairs are typically hospital-based).

This list is not exhaustive. Please consult with Dr. Hamed to discuss your specific condition and whether a clinic-based procedure is appropriate for you.

Benefits of Clinic-Based Procedures:

  • Convenience: Avoids the complexities of a hospital admission.
  • Reduced Cost: Generally more affordable than hospital-based surgeries.
  • Faster Recovery: Many patients can return to their daily activities sooner.
  • Personalized Care: A focused and comfortable clinic environment.
  • Lower Risk of Hospital-Acquired Infections.

The Surgical Consultation Process

  1. Initial Assessment: Your first visit will involve a thorough discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and a physical examination by Dr. Heba Hamed.
  2. Diagnosis: Necessary diagnostic tests (which may include imaging or lab tests, arranged if not available in-clinic) may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis.
  3. Treatment Plan: Dr. Hamed will explain your condition and discuss all suitable treatment options, including the benefits and risks of any proposed clinic-based surgical procedure.
  4. Procedure Scheduling: If a clinic-based procedure is agreed upon, it will be scheduled at a convenient time. You will receive pre-procedure instructions.
  5. The Procedure: Most clinic-based surgeries are performed under local anesthesia, meaning you'll be awake but the area will be numb. Dr. Hamed and her team will ensure your comfort and safety throughout.
  6. Post-Procedure Care: You'll receive detailed instructions for wound care, pain management, and any necessary follow-up appointments.

General Surgery: Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of procedures can be done in a clinic setting?
Many minor surgical procedures that do not require general anesthesia or overnight hospital stays can be performed in a clinic. This includes excision of skin lesions (moles, cysts, lipomas), incision and drainage of abscesses, wound repair (suturing), ingrown toenail removal, and some types of biopsies. Dr. Heba Hamed will assess if your condition is suitable for a clinic-based procedure.
Will I need anesthesia for a clinic-based surgical procedure?
Most clinic-based surgical procedures are performed under local anesthesia. This means the specific area being treated will be numbed, but you will remain awake and aware during the procedure. This minimizes risks associated with general anesthesia and allows for quicker recovery.
How long is the recovery time after a minor surgical procedure in the clinic?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure performed and individual healing factors. For many minor procedures, patients can return to most normal daily activities within a day or two. Dr. Hamed will provide specific post-procedure instructions, including any activity restrictions and expected recovery timeline.
What should I expect during my first consultation with the general surgeon?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Heba Hamed will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and perform a physical examination. She may ask questions about your lifestyle and any previous treatments. Based on this, she will discuss potential diagnoses and may recommend further tests if needed. If a surgical procedure is considered, she will explain the options, benefits, risks, and what to expect.
Do I need a referral to see a general surgeon at MedCity?
While a referral from a general practitioner can be helpful, it is not always mandatory to see a general surgeon at MedCity Medical Center. You can contact us directly to inquire about appointment availability and any specific requirements based on your insurance plan.
How do I prepare for a clinic-based surgical procedure?
Dr. Hamed will provide you with specific pre-procedure instructions. This may include guidelines on eating or drinking before the procedure, medications to avoid, and arranging for someone to accompany you if necessary. It's important to follow these instructions carefully.
What are the signs of a potential complication after a minor surgery?
While complications are rare with minor surgeries, it's important to be aware of warning signs. These can include excessive bleeding, increasing pain not relieved by prescribed medication, signs of infection (fever, spreading redness, warmth, pus-like discharge from the wound), or any unusual swelling. You will be given clear instructions on who to contact if you experience any concerns after your procedure.
Are clinic-based surgical procedures covered by insurance?
Coverage for clinic-based surgical procedures varies depending on your insurance plan and the medical necessity of the procedure. MedCity Medical Center's administrative staff can assist you in understanding your insurance benefits and any potential out-of-pocket expenses. It's always advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand.
How do I know if my condition requires a general surgeon or another specialist?
General surgeons manage a broad range of common surgical conditions. If you have a concern like a skin lump, an abscess, a wound that needs attention, or symptoms suggestive of a hernia or haemorrhoids, a consultation with a general surgeon is a good starting point. If your condition requires a different type of specialist, Dr. Heba Hamed can provide an accurate assessment and refer you appropriately.
