Excision verruca Procedure
Excision verruca is a surgical procedure to remove plantar warts. This is a fairly simple procedure that involves removing a wart using a scalpel or a laser. Before the procedure, the doctor will evaluate the size, location, and type of wart to determine the best removal approach. If you believe you need to undergo this procedure or are scheduled to undergo it, continue reading to understand what to expect.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Verruca excision is considered medically necessary under certain circumstances. Firstly, patients may consider removal if the wart poses a risk to the patient’s health or overall well-being. This includes cases where the verruca causes significant pain, inhibiting daily activities, or impairing limb function. Additionally, its location may be another determining factor for medical necessity. For instance, when situated on weight-bearing areas such as the feet or hands, where excessive pressure and friction can lead to complications like infections or secondary deformities. Furthermore, large or rapidly growing warts may indicate an underlying immune system deficiency that requires further investigation and subsequent treatment approaches which could include excision.
What To Expect
Verruca excision is a straightforward procedure that usually does not require the patient to be under general anesthesia. Most of the time, the surgeon will use a local anesthetic to numb the region of the foot to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will then use a scalpel or laser to remove the wart. If necessary, the surgeon will add stitches.
After the procedure, patients have to avoid walking on the foot that was treated. This may warrant crutches to ensure the patient does not irritate the region. Typically, patients can return to regular activity after 1-2 weeks.
