Minor Surgical Procedures (Suturing, Wound Care)

Minor surgical procedures such as suturing and wound care are performed to treat cuts, lacerations, and minor injuries. Suturing helps close wounds, promote healing, and prevent infection. The area is cleaned, disinfected, and may be numbed with local anesthesia before stitching. Proper wound care reduces scarring and speeds recovery. These procedures are usually quick, performed in outpatient settings, and require minimal downtime. Follow-up ensures proper healing and timely removal of sutures if needed.
