In-depth analysis: Is skin cancer surgery a minor operation?

In the vast world of medicine, every surgery carries the patient's desire and expectation for health. When we hear the term "skin cancer surgery", many people will involuntarily equate it with "minor surgery". But is this really the case? Today, let us unveil this mysterious veil and explore the truth behind skin cancer surgery.

We must be clear that skin cancer surgery is not a "minor surgery" in general. It depends mainly on the following factors:

1️⃣ Lesion severity and scope: The severity and spread of skin cancer directly determine the complexity of the surgery. For early, localized skin cancer, surgery may be relatively simple; but for late-stage or metastatic skin cancer, surgery requires more precision and complexity.

2️⃣Surgical method: There are many surgical methods for skin cancer, including local excision, laser treatment, cryotherapy, etc. Different surgical methods correspond to different surgical difficulties and recovery times.

3️⃣ Individual differences among patients: Each patient’s physical condition, age, underlying diseases, etc. will affect the risks and effects of surgery. For some patients, even a minor surgery may have greater risks.

Care and rehabilitation after skin cancer surgery are equally important. Proper care and rehabilitation measures can reduce the occurrence of complications and promote the patient's rapid recovery.

Following skin cancer surgery, you need to pay attention to the following to ensure a smooth recovery:

🍋Wound care: Keep the wound area clean and dry, avoid getting it wet. If there is a scab, do not remove it, but wait for it to fall off naturally.

🍋Diet adjustment: The diet should be light and easy to digest. You can eat millet porridge🥣, pumpkin porridge🎃, etc. Eat more apples🍎, tomatoes🍅, etc., which will help supplement nutrition and promote gastrointestinal motility. Avoid eating spicy, irritating and greasy foods.

🍋Rest and activities: Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late to enhance immunity and promote recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise to prevent wounds from cracking.

🍋Reexamination and follow-up: Go to the hospital for regular reexaminations so that the doctor can observe the recovery of the disease and provide targeted treatment based on the examination results.

🍋Daily protection: Avoid excessive direct sunlight☀️ and exposure in daily life, especially between 10 am and 3 pm, when ultraviolet radiation is strong. Use sunshade☂️ tools to avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, X-rays and other rays.

For patients, it is very important to choose a regular medical institution, an experienced doctor and a surgical method that suits them. At the same time, postoperative care and rehabilitation cannot be ignored. Let us work together to protect the health of every patient!
