Day-Case General Surgery

Day-Case General Surgery

At Lake Clinic, we provide a range of general surgical procedures safely and conveniently as day-case operations.

Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation, allowing you to return home the same day with minimal disruption to your daily life.

What Is Day-Case Surgery?

Day-case (or outpatient) surgery means that your procedure, recovery, and discharge all take place on the same day.

There is no need for an overnight stay.

This approach offers comfort, convenience, and efficiency — all within a consultant-led, CQC-registered surgical facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lipomas (fatty lumps)bw-admin2024-04-18T19:30:21+01:00

Lipomas (fatty lumps)

What is a Lipoma (fatty lump)?

Lipomas are benign, fatty growths that develop beneath the skin’s surface. They are generally harmless and often do not require any medical intervention. However, it is essential to have any unusual lumps examined by a healthcare provider. Lipomas are quite common.

How is a Lipoma (fatty lump) treated at Lake Medical Clinic?

They are removed surgically under local anaesthetic, after which they can be analysed in the labs.

Cystsbw-admin2024-04-18T19:31:35+01:00

Cysts

What is a Cyst?

Skin cysts are like bumps found under your skin which feel attached to it. They can have fluid or pus inside them. They can become uncomfortable but do not tend to hurt. Treatment involves removal of the whole swelling with the affected skin. Depending on where on the body and how long you have had them for, they can be as small as a pea or a few centimetres in diameter. If they get infected, they might become painful and turn red, during which time we would not recommend having surgery.

How is a Cyst treated at Lake Medical Clinic?

They are removed surgically under local anaesthetic. The anaesthetic is used to numb the area around the cyst before it’s cut out. You’ll have a small scar around the widest length of the cyst itself, which tends to heal well. For more complex procedures patients you need to be assessed by a Consultant at least a week before the procedure date to determine the best course of action. This decision will be made at the initial consultation or for patients travelling from distance via our online consultation form.

Skin tags

What is a Skin tag?

Skin tags are soft, skin-coloured growths that can appear on your skin. They’re very common and usually harmless. Skin tags often match the colour of your skin or may be slightly darker. Some may look stuck on or as if they are hanging off your skin. They usually don’t hurt and are not a big problem. Skin tags can be as small as a tiny dot or as big as a button. Sometimes, you might have just one, or you could have several of them.

You might find skin tags in places where your skin rubs together or in folds of your skin. Common areas include:
> Your neck
> Under your arms
> On your eyelids
> Beneath your breasts
> Around your bottom

Warts (Seborrhoeic keratoses)

What are Warts?

Warts, also known as seborrheic keratoses, are non-cancerous skin growths that are quite common, especially as people get older. They appear as raised, round or oval bumps on the skin and can vary in colour, often ranging from brown to black, but they can also be tan, white, or flesh-coloured.

Warts are typically non cancerous and do not cause any pain or discomfort. They tend to have a waxy, scaly, or crusty surface and can look like they are stuck onto the skin. While they are generally harmless, some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated or itchy.

Moles

What is a Mole?

Moles are like tiny, coloured spots on your skin. Lots of people have them, and usually, they’re not a big deal unless they start to look different in size, shape, or colour.

Most of these harmless moles are either round or oval and have a smooth edge. Some may be flat or a little raised, and they can feel either smooth or slightly bumpy. Occasionally, they might have hair growing out of them. On brown or black skin, moles are often darker in colour.

What is a Cherry angioma?

A Cherry angioma, often referred to as discrete red spots, is a small, non cancerous skin growth. These growths are typically bright red in colour and appear as tiny bumps on the skin’s surface. They can range in size from a pinhead to a small pea. Cherry angiomas are quite common and tend to increase in number in women and as people age.

These red spots are typically harmless and usually do not cause any pain or discomfort.
