An excision biopsy is a procedure where Dr.P.Urosevic surgically removes a small area of abnormal tissue or a suspicious-looking spot from your body. This is done to get a closer look at the tissue and find out what it is.
First, the area is numbed with local anesthesia so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Then, Dr.P.Urosevic carefully cuts out the abnormal tissue along with a small amount of normal tissue around it.
The removed tissue is then sent to a laboratory for analysis by a pathologist, who examines it under a microscope to determine if there are any abnormal cells or signs of disease. The results of the biopsy help Dr.P.Urosevic make an accurate diagnosis and decide on the most appropriate treatment, if needed.
Please Note:
- All surgeries require a face-to-face consultation with Dr. P. Urosevic.
- You must acknowledge the surgery plan.
- Patients must acknowledge that skin surgery is not bulk billed and understand the out-of-pocket fee associated with the surgery.
- Patients must acknowledge that a cancellation fee will be incurred for surgeries canceled less than 24 hours in advance.
- All patients are required to sign a consent form before a surgical procedure.
- Since it is performed under local anesthesia, you can typically return home on the same day. You are safe to drive yourself home after the surgery.
- Patients must acknowledge the need to stop taking blood thinners, fish oil, or other supplements containing omega-3 prior to surgery.
It is advisable to discuss this with your GP or healthcare provider, especially if you are taking blood thinners for any medical condition.
