Dermatologic surgery
Sebaceous cysts are benign skin formations that appear through the accumulation of sebum and keratin at the level of a sebaceous gland or hair follicle. These present as well-demarcated subcutaneous nodules and can frequently appear on areas such as scalp, face, neck, back or chest.
Excision of multiple sebaceous cysts is a minor surgical procedure used for simultaneous removal of multiple sebaceous cysts, in a single intervention. This approach allows for efficient treatment of multiple lesions, reducing the need for separate procedures.
The intervention consists of surgical excision of each cyst, with complete removal of its capsule, to reduce the risk of recurrence. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient does not experience pain during the intervention.
After removal of the cysts, the wounds are sutured, and the physician provides recommendations regarding postprocedural care and healing period. In certain situations, the excised tissue may be sent for histopathological examination, to confirm the diagnosis.
Excision of multiple sebaceous cysts offers several advantages:
- complete removal of cysts and their capsules
- treatment of multiple lesions in a single intervention
- reduced risk of recurrence
- safe and effective procedure
The duration of the procedure depends on the number, size and location of the cysts, however the intervention is generally performed in 30–60 minutes.
