Circumcision is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the foreskin from the penis. It is typically performed for cultural, religious, or medical reasons. The procedure is usually quick and recovery time is relatively short, with proper post-operative care ensuring a smooth healing process.
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that causes swelling in the scrotum. Hydrocele surgery, also known as hydrocelectomy, involves the removal or drainage of this fluid to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. This procedure is commonly performed in infants and young boys.
An inguinal hernia occurs when a portion of the intestine protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This condition can cause pain and swelling. Inguinal hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct this protrusion, preventing potential complications such as strangulation of the intestine.
This procedure is often performed to treat abscesses or infections that result in the collection of pus under the skin. Incision and drainage involve making a small cut in the skin to allow the pus to escape, thereby relieving pain and promoting healing. This surgery is crucial for preventing the spread of infection.
An excisional biopsy involves the removal of an entire lump or suspicious area for examination and diagnosis. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as tumors or cysts.
