Minor surgeries are medical procedures that typically involve small incisions or manipulations and are performed to treat various conditions. These surgeries often require local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake during the procedure. Common examples include skin biopsies, cyst removals, and wound suturing. These procedures are usually performed in outpatient settings, meaning patients can go home the same day. Recovery time is generally short, with many individuals returning to normal activities within a few days. Minor surgeries are essential for diagnosing and treating conditions without the need for more invasive operations.
