Mole Removal Surgery Advantagessubmitted on 25 May 2015
Medically speaking, moles are pigmented cells clusters. They can appear on any part of the human body. In most situations they are harmless, even if there are cases in which an adult woman can have around forty present on the body. The problem is that in some situations they will become cancerous. This is where immediate treatment is necessary. Melanoma, a really dangerous skin cancer type, can be caused by some moles so the patients that do have suspicious moles should quickly contact a surgeon with experience in order to assess the situation and eventually go through mole removal surgery, if necessary.
To put it as simple as possible, you want to go through mole removal surgery because of the fact that atypical moles can actually cause cancer. This is a strong motivation for the procedure to be done. At the same time, those that are not cancerous can cause discomfort when friction with clothes is present or in the event that they appear in body areas that are sensitive. We should also mention that some are simply unsightly.
Malignant moles are normally made out of 2 asymmetrical halves. They do not perfectly overlap. Edges are normally irregular and quite poorly defined. The surface is usually made out of colors that change as time passes or many colors at the same time.
There are three mole removal surgeries that you can choose. Learn all that you can about all of them in order to see what the best option is for you. At the same time, do talk with your doctor so that you know the advantages and disadvantages of all.
Surgical Excision
This is a procedure that is done with the patient under a local anesthesia. Mole excision is done with the help of a scalpel. If moles are flat, the pain that you feel is not that much as the operation will be a lot easier. After the excision is done, the wound is sutured and excised fragments will be examined in order to determine exact nature of the mole.
Electrocautery
In this case the skin is numbed with the use of a suitable anesthetic substance. The mole is then removed with the use of a special substance that is prepared in a laboratory. The big advantage of elctrocautery is that there is no need to have sutures done after the procedure is over. No scars will remain and even if they do, they will be really small.
Laser Treatment
This is the most advanced of the mole removal techniques available at the moment. The only problem with it is that it will be limited to the superficial small mole. Surgeons are always going to recommend this procedure in the event that it is viable, based on the mole that you have. Lasers will not be able to go deep inside the skin. If the mole is too deep or too large, the only option that may be available for you is surgical excision. Surgeons are going to advice you on the best option that you can consider based on your exact situation.
