The surgical procedure for lipoma includes steps such as disinfecting the area with local anesthesia, incising the skin, removing the lipoma, and suturing the wound.
For lipoma surgery, the surgical area is commonly sterilized with povidone-iodine, with a radius of disinfection of at least 15 centimeters beyond the edge of the surgical area.
Local anesthesia is required, usually with lidocaine for local infiltration.
After successful anesthesia, proper surgical incisions need to be made in the skin to reveal the lipoma, which needs to be bluntly separated from the surrounding tissues and then removed completely.
After the lipoma is removed, the surgical area needs to be hemostatic. After checking the wound, if there is no active bleeding, the wound is closed with interrupted sutures and bandaged with sterile gauze, and the surgery is completed.
After the operation, you need to change the dressing regularly, remove the stitches, and take amoxicillin, cefadroxil and other antibiotics to prevent infection.
After the occurrence of lipoma, patients are advised to go to the hospital, need to determine the severity of the condition, and then decide how to deal with it, some patients need surgical treatment, some patients can be regularly reviewed. Drugs should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
