Advanced Skin Cancer Surgery
At Robina Town Medical Centre, we understand that a diagnosis of skin cancer can be concerning. Whether the diagnosis is basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or melanoma, we can provide advanced skin cancer surgery techniques that prioritise effective treatment, close to home and typically more affordably than seeing a surgeon outside of our practice.
What is Advanced Skin Cancer Surgery?
Skin cancer surgery is a procedure to remove cancerous skin cells and surrounding tissue to prevent the spread of cancer. It is often the most effective way to treat skin cancer, especially when detected early. Advanced skin cancer surgery is a more specialised area involving flaps and wedges for skin cancer removal on the head, neck, face, and upper and lower limbs.
Advanced skin cancer surgery techniques
GP's with additional training and experience in the latest techniques and technology in skin cancer surgery offer a range of surgical options tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, including:
Local excision: removing the skin cancer / cancerous tissue and a surrounding margin of tissue next to the cancer as a safety measure
Local flap repair - moving tissue with its own blood supply from an area near the wound
What to Expect
Before your surgery
Prior to surgery, you will have a consultation to explain the procedure, discuss potential risks, and answer all your questions. This is an excellent opportunity to discuss what to expect and how to prepare, helping to alleviate any concerns you may have
Post-surgery care
After your surgery, you’ll receive aftercare instructions to ensure your healing process is as comfortable as possible. You can also contact us to address any concerns you may have during your recovery.
