Most lumps turn out to be harmless, and a short examination often settles the question on the same day. > > If removal is the right choice, it's usually a short procedure under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Every removed lump is sent for testing, for peace of mind. **Dr. Naresh Veeranki**General, laparoscopic and laser surgeon ## What is surgical second opinion? Advised surgery and not sure?
