A word from Dr. Naresh

Many people live with a lump for years, quietly worrying about what it might be. 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.

The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about surgical second opinion, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for surgical second opinion?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

Patients often ask for a second opinion when

  • You've been advised surgery and want to be sure it's necessary
  • Different doctors have suggested different options
  • You want to know whether keyhole or laser is an option
  • You're worried about the risks or recovery
  • A previous operation didn't give the result you expected

When to wait or plan carefully

  • An infected cyst or abscess, which is usually settled first
  • Blood thinners that need a plan before the procedure
  • A small, clearly harmless lump that isn't bothering you
2Step-by-step: how it is done
  1. 1

    Gather everything

    Scan images and reports, blood tests, previous prescriptions and the surgeon's advice.

  2. 2

    Your history is taken and you're examined, not just your reports read.

  3. 3

    The findings are explained in plain language, including what happens if you wait.

  4. 4

    You leave with a clear recommendation you can take back to your doctor.

  • Hospital and room. Day-care, general ward or private room changes the total.
  • Tests and scans. Blood tests, ultrasound or CT, only if they're needed and not already done.
