Watch Dr. Vanesha Varik explain key aspects of minor procedures in these educational videos.
Minor outpatient surgical procedures are small-scale operations performed under local anaesthesia in a clinic or hospital day-care setting. Unlike major surgeries such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or appendectomy that require general anaesthesia and overnight hospital stays, minor procedures allow patients to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.
Dr. Vanesha Varik, a female general surgeon in Dubai, performs a comprehensive range of minor surgical procedures at Medcare Hospital Dubai with precision, minimal scarring, and thorough post-procedure care. She also offers specialist care for lumps in the breast and thyroid, where early biopsy and diagnosis are critical.

Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth surgical experience and optimal recovery.
Cysts are fluid-filled or semi-solid sacs that can develop anywhere under the skin. Sebaceous cysts are among the most common. While benign, they can become infected or cosmetically bothersome — at which point surgical excision is recommended.
Dr. Vanesha Varik performs cyst removal under local anaesthesia with meticulous technique to ensure complete excision, reducing recurrence. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes and patients resume normal activities within 1-2 days.
An abscess is a painful collection of pus caused by bacterial infection. When an abscess forms, antibiotics alone are usually insufficient — surgical incision and drainage is required. For perianal abscesses, further evaluation may be needed to rule out fistula-in-ano or other anorectal conditions.
Lipomas are soft, movable fatty tumours under the skin — almost always benign. Excision is recommended when they grow large, cause pain, restrict movement, or when there is diagnostic uncertainty. Lipoma removal is performed under local anaesthesia through a small incision with minimal scarring.
A biopsy is the definitive way to diagnose whether a lump is benign or malignant. Dr. Vanesha Varik performs excisional, incisional, and punch biopsies with precision. Biopsies are particularly important for lumps in the breast, thyroid, and other areas where early diagnosis impacts treatment.
Proper wound management is essential for healing and infection prevention. Services include assessment and debridement of acute wounds, management of infected surgical wounds, treatment of chronic non-healing wounds including diabetic ulcers, and post-operative wound monitoring.
