A word from Dr. Naresh

Not every surgical problem needs a hospital stay. Ingrown nails, small cysts, abscesses and cuts can usually be treated in a short visit under local anaesthesia.

My aim is to make these procedures quick, comfortable and clearly explained, so you're back to your day with simple instructions and a clear follow-up plan.

Dr. Naresh VeerankiGeneral, laparoscopic and laser surgeon

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I know if my wound is infected?

Pain that increases after the first few days, spreading redness, warmth, pus, a bad smell or fever. A little clear or blood-tinged fluid early on is common.

Can I change the dressing at home?

For many clean wounds, yes, and you'll be shown how. Packed or complex wounds are better managed in the clinic.

Can I bathe with my dressing?

With a waterproof dressing, a quick shower is usually fine after 48 hours. Avoid soaking in a bath or swimming until the wound has healed.

My surgery was done elsewhere. Can you help?

Yes. Bring your discharge summary so the dressing plan matches your operation.

Do I need to book?

Please call ahead so your visit is quick.

What should I bring?

Your discharge summary and any dressings you were given.

Is a little bleeding normal?

A few spots on the dressing are common. Bleeding that soaks through needs prompt attention.
