A minor surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat conditions that are not life- threatening and can be safely conducted in an outpatient setting.
Common types of minor surgeries include mole removal, cyst drainage, wound suturing, toenail removal, skin biopsies, and joint injections. These are quick, low-risk procedures typically done in a clinic setting.
Surgeries like skin tag removal or minor foreign body extraction are considered among the least serious, as they are minimally invasive and typically require only local anesthesia.
Appendix removal, or appendectomy, is generally considered a major surgery due to the involvement of internal organs and the need for general anesthesia.
Minor surgeries are usually associated with minimal discomfort, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring patient comfort during the procedure.
Major surgeries involve more complex procedures, often requiring general anesthesia and hospitalization, while minor surgeries are less invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and typically allow patients to return home the same day.
The duration of minor surgeries varies depending on the specific procedure but generally ranges from 15 minutes to an hour, allowing for a quick recovery and minimal disruption to daily activities.
