  2. Skin biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_biopsy

    An excisional biopsy is essentially the same as incisional biopsy, except the entire lesion or tumor is included. This is the ideal method of diagnosis of small melanomas (when performed as an excision). Ideally, an entire melanoma should be submitted for diagnosis if it can be done safely and cosmetically.

  3. Debridement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debridement

    Debridement is the medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue. [2] [3] Removal may be surgical, mechanical, chemical, autolytic (self-digestion), or by maggot therapy.

  4. Wound bed preparation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_bed_preparation

    Since the year 2000, the wound bed preparation concept has continued to improve. For example, the TIME acronym (Tissue management, Inflammation and infection control, Moisture balance, Epithelial (edge) advancement) has supported the transition of basic science to the bedside in order to exploit appropriate wound healing interventions [6] and has not deviated from the important tenets of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound

    A wound is any disruption of or damage to living tissue, such as skin, mucous membranes, or organs. [1] [2] Wounds can either be the sudden result of direct trauma (mechanical, thermal, chemical), or can develop slowly over time due to underlying disease processes such as diabetes mellitus, venous/arterial insufficiency, or immunologic disease. [3]

  6. Incision and drainage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incision_and_drainage

    The wound can be allowed to close by secondary intention. Alternatively, if the infection is cleared and healthy granulation tissue is evident at the base of the wound, the edges of the incision may be reapproximated, such as by using butterfly stitches , staples or sutures .

  7. Dermatologic surgical procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatologic_surgical...

    Shave excision is the most frequently used method for mole removal. Anesthesia is first administered to the area around the mole. With the use of a sharp razor, multiple horizontal cuts are then made to remove the mole. This is followed by electrosurgical feathering, where a small dermal loop electrode is used to gently shape the edges of the ...

  8. Surgical pathology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_pathology

    Excisional biopsies of skin lesions and gastrointestinal polyps are very common. The pathologist's interpretation of a biopsy is critical to establishing the diagnosis of a benign or malignant tumor, and can differentiate between different types and grades of cancer , as well as determining the activity of specific molecular pathways in the tumor.

  9. Pseudomelanoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomelanoma

    The added economic benefit is that many surgeons bill the procedure as an excision, rather than a shave biopsy. This save the added time for hemostasis, instruments, and suture cost. The great disadvantage, seen years later is the numerous scallop scars, and a very difficult to deal with lesions called a "recurrent melanocytic nevus".
