Minor Surgical Procedures

At Njabulo Medical Centre, we recognise the importance of addressing even the smallest health concerns. Our minor surgical procedures are minimally invasive and aim to remove discomfort and improve your quality of life.

Excisions & Removals

Navigating the delicate intricacies of your body, our doctors perform excisions and removals to address your concerns about unwanted skin growths and lodged foreign objects with care and precision.

• Warts
  Those small stubborn skin growths known as warts can be annoying and embarrassing. If you have tried over-the-counter treatments with little success, we help. We use effective techniques, such as cauterisation, to remove warts, freeing your skin of unsightly nuisances.
• Lipomas and Ganglion Cysts
  These are lumps that are usually harmless but might cause discomfort or appear unsightly on your body. We gently remove these lumps leaving minimal scarring and improving your comfort.
• Keloids
  Keloids are raised scars that go beyond the original wound site. They might not be harmful, but they can be a cosmetic concern and lower your self-esteem. Our professionals carefully remove these overgrown areas of scar tissue, helping restore your skin's smooth appearance.
• Foreign Objects
  It's not uncommon for foreign objects to become stuck in the nose, ears, or eyes (especially in children). In these situations, our team uses their expert care to ensure the safe removal of these objects and get you back to feeling yourself.

Skin Biopsies

Sometimes, skin growths need some further assessment. A skin biopsy or fine needle aspiration helps collect a small sample of cells or tissue for us to analyse. These samples are sent to a laboratory to test for cancer, diseases and other conditions. We do these procedures with a gentle touch, keeping your discomfort to a minimum.

Wound Care

From minor cuts to more severe wounds - proper care is crucial to promote healing and prevent infection. Our doctors are trained to clean, stitch and dress open wounds, ensuring as minimal scarring as possible. This is a slightly more invasive procedure, but we can use a local anaesthetic to numb the area, keeping you comfortable.

Drainage of Abscesses

Abscesses are pockets of pus that form under the skin in various parts of the body. They can be incredibly painful and need to be drained and relieved as soon as possible. At Njabulo Medical Centre, we provide gentle yet effective techniques. We use a local anaesthetic to numb the area and gently relieve the inflamed abscess, giving you immediate relief. We then clean and dress the abscess to prevent it from forming again.

Ear Syringing

Do your ears feel clogged? Ear syringing is a safe procedure used to remove excessive or impacted earwax that causes loss of hearing, irritation or infections. We do this by injecting water into the ear. This is an entirely safe and simple procedure that provides instant relief.

Intra-Articular Steroid

If you're suffering from joint pain or inflammation due to conditions like arthritis, intra-articular steroid injections can be a major help. We do this by injecting a steroid - a type of anti-inflammatory medicine - directly into the painful joint. This helps reduce your pain and increase your mobility.
