Minor Surgeries Q & A
What are minor surgeries?
Minor surgeries include a large group of procedures that require only small incisions, minimal tissue damage, and local anesthesia. At Del Sol Centro Medico Familiar PLLC, the experienced team performs minor surgeries in their Houston office, sparing you a trip to a surgery center or hospital.
What kind of minor surgeries are available in the office?

- Boil (pus-filled bump) drainage

If you have a problem that’s irritating or uncomfortable, a minor surgery in the office can relieve your symptoms quickly. The providers are highly trained professionals who can expertly perform surgery in a way that leaves little-to-no scarring afterward.
What is the process for minor surgeries?
For most minor surgeries, your medical specialist administers local anesthesia. This may be through an injection or topical cream. Local anesthesia won’t make you drowsy — it only numbs the immediate area so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
Your specialist then uses sterile instruments and precise surgical protocols to remove, repair, or restore. In many cases, the surgical process takes just a few minutes.
After your minor surgical procedure, you may have a small bandage over the treatment area. In some cases, your provider may prescribe a topical cream to use at home. If you have an infection, your provider may prescribe oral antibiotics as well.
How do I prepare for minor surgeries?
In most cases, minor surgeries don’t require any particular preparation. In fact, the specialists can usually perform necessary procedures on the spot when you come in for sick visits.
Just keep the problem area clean, and don’t attempt to drain a boil or remove an ingrown toenail at home. It’s very easy to make a mistake that could make the situation worse, so it’s best to let the experts handle it.
