Phuket Medical Clinic

Minor Surgery

Small procedures performed after assessment, usually with local anaesthesia.

Care that answers your specific question

Some lumps, lesions, nail problems, and wounds can be managed in a clinic, but their location, size, bleeding risk, and need for pathology must be assessed first.

The doctor explains the procedure, wound care, and follow-up. More complex or higher-risk findings are referred to an appropriate hospital or specialist.

Who it may suit
