Overview of Mole Removal

Mole removal is a common procedure that can be performed in various settings, depending on the size, location, and nature of the mole, as well as the healthcare provider’s preference and expertise. The settings for mole removal include clinic rooms and operating theatres. The decision on where to perform the procedure is based on ensuring the best outcome for the patient.

Clinic Room

Small and superficial moles can often be safely removed in a clinic room. This involves using local anesthesia to numb the area before excising the mole. Clinic room procedures are convenient, cost-effective, and typically involve minimal downtime.

Operating Theatre

For larger, deeper moles, or those located in sensitive areas, an operating theatre may be recommended. This setting provides better infection control, advanced monitoring equipment, and access to additional medical resources if needed.

Decision Making

The choice between a clinic room and an operating theatre for mole removal will be based on the complexity of the procedure, patient comfort, and the need for specialized equipment or assistance. Your healthcare provider will make a recommendation after assessing your specific case.
