Mass Removal

This page will highlight some interesting surgeries.  WARNING!  pictures in this section can be quite graphic.  Viewer discretion is advised.

Here is a mass on the back of our patient.  Its diameter is approximately 1" in diameter.

This is our surgical shave and preparation.

The mass is removed with an elliptical incision.

This is a subcutaneous (skin) closure.

Here's a look at the final skin closure.

These sutures are removed in 10 days.  The pathology indicated that this mass was a non-cancerous skin tumor.  Our patient is doing well.
