Surgical Removal of Fibromas in Dnipro

A fibroma is a benign tumor that originates from connective tissue. There are two main types: hard fibromas, typically found on the skin or mucous membranes with a dense consistency, and soft fibromas, also known as skin tags, which are more flexible and commonly appear on the neck, armpits, and other body areas. While generally harmless, fibromas can be removed for cosmetic or medical reasons.

Indications for Fibroma Removal:

Aesthetic concerns, especially when the growth affects appearance
Discomfort or pain, particularly in areas subject to friction from clothing or accessories
Risk of malignant transformation
Location interfering with normal function (e.g., inside the mouth)
Signs of infection or inflammation at the site

Stages of Surgical Fibroma Removal:

Patient Preparation: The doctor examines the fibroma and discusses the procedure with the patient. The area is disinfected, and local anesthesia is administered.
Skin Incision: A small incision is made over the fibroma, usually along natural skin lines to minimize scarring.
Fibroma Excision: The growth is carefully removed, avoiding damage to blood vessels and nerves.
Wound Closure: The incision is sutured and covered with a sterile dressing or adhesive strip as needed.

After the procedure, patients receive wound care instructions and a follow-up schedule for suture removal if necessary. The entire outpatient procedure typically lasts 15–30 minutes.

Contraindications for Surgical Fibroma Removal:

Surgery may be postponed in the following cases:

Active skin infections in or around the fibroma
Acute illnesses (e.g., flu, respiratory infections)
Exacerbation of chronic conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, decompensated cardiovascular disease)
Allergies to anesthesia or medications used during the procedure
Blood disorders
Suspected malignancy (e.g., fibrosarcoma — requires oncological management)
Pregnancy (not an absolute contraindication, but some doctors recommend postponement)

The final decision on contraindications is made after a thorough medical assessment.

Post-Operative Recovery:

Recovery typically takes 7–10 days and involves:

Wound care: Regular antiseptic treatment and dressing changes
Limiting physical activity to avoid stress on the wound
Medications: Prescribed antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs if needed
Avoiding saunas and hot baths until full healing
Sun protection: Use sunscreen or clothing to prevent pigmentation or scarring
Avoid swimming in natural water until healing is complete
Follow-up visits for monitoring and early detection of complications

Proper care ensures a smooth and quick recovery after fibroma removal.
