Surgical Skin Lesion Removal (with Histopathology)

Surgical removal of skin lesions such as moles, cysts and other growths, with the excised tissue sent for histopathological examination. At the Aleksandra clinic the procedure is performed by a surgeon under local anaesthesia, with attention to a neat closure for the best cosmetic result. The price includes the laboratory analysis of the removed tissue, which checks its nature.

Surgical excision removes a skin lesion — such as a mole (naevus), cyst, lipoma, skin tag or other growth — by cutting it out completely under local anaesthesia, rather than shaving or burning it off. Removing the lesion in full and sending it for histopathology means the tissue can be examined under the microscope to confirm its nature, which is an important advantage over destructive methods that leave nothing to analyse. The surgeon excises the lesion with an appropriate margin of surrounding skin and closes the wound with fine sutures, taking care over placement and technique to keep the resulting scar as discreet as possible. At the Aleksandra clinic the procedure is quick, usually around twenty to thirty minutes for a single lesion, and is carried out under local anaesthetic so it is comfortable. The 600 zł fee includes the histopathological examination of the removed tissue. Sutures are removed after about one to two weeks depending on the body area, and the wound is kept clean and protected during healing; the scar continues to fade over the following months. Sending every excised lesion for analysis is good practice and means any concerning result is identified. The service suits adults who want a bothersome, changing or cosmetically unwanted skin lesion removed and properly examined. Any lesion that looks suspicious should be assessed promptly; the surgeon evaluates each lesion and advises on the appropriate approach at the appointment.
