The minor surgery appointments are carried out by <strong>Dr Anastassia Schults<\/strong>. Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, and patients can go home immediately afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No referral is needed. You are welcome both if a doctor has already assessed that a lesion needs to be removed and if you would like an on-site consultation \u2013 our doctor will examine you and decide whether removal is necessary and safe. When removal is indicated, we offer it as a paid service. Appointments can be booked <a href=\"https:\/\/valvekliinik.ee\/en\/booking\/\">online<\/a> or by phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which procedures does Dr Schults perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>removal of moles and other skin lesions when medically indicated;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ingrown toenail surgery when conservative treatment has not helped;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>removal of an atheroma (sebaceous cyst) that has repeatedly become inflamed, as well as emergency incision and drainage of an inflamed atheroma;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>incision and drainage of an abscess;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wound cleaning and suturing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>removal of a superficial foreign body from a wound;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>incision of a thrombosed haemorrhoid;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>aspiration of elbow bursitis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>glucocorticosteroid injection into the knee joint for knee osteoarthritis when oral painkillers have not provided sufficient relief;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>flushing of epicystostomy and nephrostomy tubes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not remove skin lesions in the facial area \u2013 these require assessment by a specialist (dermatologist or plastic surgeon). For lesions on the head, the possibility depends on the exact location and is decided by the doctor during the examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All removed skin lesions are sent for histology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every removed skin lesion \u2013 a mole, an atheroma, or any other piece of tissue \u2013 is always sent for histological examination. This is the only way to know for certain what the lesion was and to rule out malignancy. We will contact you as soon as the result arrives. The cost of the histological examination is added to the price of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you book an appointment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book a minor surgery appointment if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>your family doctor or another physician has assessed that a lesion needs to be removed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a mole has changed in shape, colour, or size, bleeds, or itches;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a lump has appeared under the skin that is growing, painful, or repeatedly becomes inflamed;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the skin around an ingrown toenail is painful, red, or discharging pus and home care (soaking, roomier footwear) has not helped;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a wound needs suturing \u2013 a clean wound can be sutured up to 18 hours after the injury, and up to 24 hours on the face and head.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787597213042\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I need a referral?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. You can come to Valvekliinik without a referral.
