Skin conditions dealt with by general surgery include lumps, tumours and other lesions of the skin and underlying tissues.

These are often fairly simple conditions that can be dealt with by performing minor operations under local anaesthetic (the area of skin being treated is numbed). Often these procedures are performed as outpatient or day case procedures.

I am a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider for assessment and treatment of skin lesions (skin cancers and benign lumps). Some lesions may need surgery to be done under Local + IV sedation or General Anaesthesia and this will be discussed at the time of the consultation.
