Malignant skin tumors

Malignant skin tumors may initially appear quite inconspicuous. They often appear as small lesions on the skin.

If ignored, they grow rapidly and can destroy not only the skin but also muscle and bone. As a result, they require extensive, complex plastic surgery using flaps or skin grafts.

Malignant skin tumors

Skin cancer, including skin cancer, is a condition that usually begins with a small lesion such as a mole, lump, or difficult-to-heal wound. It can occur on various parts of the body, especially in areas exposed to sunlight. If left untreated, skin cancer can spread to deeper layers of skin, muscles, and in extreme cases, bones, which can lead to serious health complications. Early detection and removal of the cancer is crucial to prevent its spread. Surgery involves excision of the lesion, and in advanced cases, reconstruction of the removed skin area may be necessary.

The course of the procedure for removing a malignant skin tumor

The procedure involves excision of the skin cancer, performed through an incision in the skin surrounding the tumor. If necessary, skin reconstruction can also be performed, for example, using skin flaps or a skin graft. Depending on the stage of the cancer, additional histopathological analysis of the removed tissue may also be necessary. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing the risk of complications.

Consultation and qualification for the procedure

During a medical consultation, a dermatologist or surgeon will assess your skin lesions and decide on further treatment. After conducting an interview and, if necessary, performing imaging tests or a biopsy, an appropriate treatment method will be proposed, including surgery.

Preparation for the procedure

Before the procedure, avoid sun exposure in the affected area and do not apply cosmetics to the area to be treated. Patients should consult their doctor if they are taking anticoagulants. Special preparation for the procedure is usually not required unless there are medical contraindications.

Performing the procedure

Skin cancer removal is performed surgically under local anesthesia. For larger lesions, reconstruction may also be necessary. The entire procedure typically takes from several minutes to an hour, depending on the size and location of the lesion. If necessary, the lesion undergoes further histopathological examination.

Convalescence

After the procedure, you may experience mild soreness or discomfort at the surgical site. There is usually no recovery period required – most patients can return to their daily activities after a few days. If stitches remain in the surgical site, they will be removed after approximately 7-14 days.

Post-operative recommendations after removal of malignant skin tumors

After the procedure, avoid sun exposure and care for the surgical wound to prevent infection. You should also regularly inspect the surgical site and see your doctor for follow-up visits as needed. It is also important to follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding postoperative hygiene and avoid intense physical activity during the initial recovery period.
