Different types of surgical procedures for skin cancer
PRECISE REMOVAL FOR CONFIDENT OUTCOMES
Excision is a commonly performed surgical procedure at Skin and Medical Northbridge for the removal of benign or cancerous skin lesions. This is done for many reasons, including the removal of entire lesion for diagnosis, aesthetic reasons or symptomatic reasons.
The procedure requires the use of local anaesthesia and sharp scalpel. The resulting wound is then repaired using fine stitches and scar remains after the wound heals. Our skilled doctors use this technique to excise the entire growth along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal of cancerous cells. This meticulous approach helps reduce the chances of cancer recurrence and allows for accurate analysis of the excised tissue to confirm the absence of any remaining abnormal cells.
At Skin & Medical Northbridge, we prioritise patient comfort and safety during the excision procedure. Our doctors are highly trained in surgical techniques, resulting in minimal scarring and a faster recovery period. With our personalised approach, you can be confident in achieving the best possible outcomes for your skin health.
The most common indications for skin excision:
- Skin Cancers including Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, Melanoma
- Precancerous skin lesions including dysplastic naevus, solar keratosis and Bowen’s disease
- Benign skin growth including benign moles, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags dermatofibroma and lipoma
- Benign epidermal cyst and sebaceous cyst
SIMPLE AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Most commonly used to remove raised benign lesions, moles or seborrheic keratosis. This method involves using a scalpel or razor to shave off the lesion little by little until there are no more traces of the growth on the skin. Electrosurgery and laser may also be used to trim the growth down to skin level. However, these techniques completely destroy the removed tissue, and is thus not suitable for biopsies.

- Benign skin growth including benign moles, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags and lipoma
TARGETED AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE
Radiofrequency surgery is a state-of-the-art procedure offered at Skin and Medical Northbridge for the precise removal of certain skin cancers and growths. This technique utilises high-frequency electrical currents to selectively target and eliminate cancerous cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Radiofrequency surgery is particularly effective for small or delicate areas, providing a minimally invasive alternative to traditional excision methods.
Our experienced doctors are well-versed in using radiofrequency surgery, ensuring accurate and efficient removal of cancerous lesions. This approach offers numerous benefits, including reduced scarring, less bleeding, and a shorter recovery time, allowing you to resume your daily activities with minimal interruption.

RESTORING FORM AND FUNCTION
Reconstructive surgery is a crucial aspect of skin cancer treatment, especially for cases where cancerous lesions have been excised or removed. At Skin and Medical Northbridge, we understand that the removal of cancerous growths may leave significant defects that require skilled reconstruction to restore both form and function.
Our team of expert doctors is highly trained in reconstructive surgery techniques, ensuring seamless results that promote optimal healing and cosmesis. Whether it’s a simple closure or a more complex reconstruction involving skin grafts or flaps, our specialists have the expertise to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
We recognise the emotional impact of skin cancer treatment and the importance of feeling confident in your appearance after surgery. Our compassionate approach to reconstructive surgery ensures that you are supported throughout the entire process, helping you regain your self-esteem and quality of life.
