ZDRAVO Surgical Department — professional surgery in Mykolaiv

We specialize in the removal of lipomas, atheromas, boils, papillomas, treatment of ingrown toenails, and primary wound management of any complexity.

The ZDRAVO medical center has established a modern surgical department for outpatient treatment of patients with general surgical conditions. We combine physicians’ experience with advanced diagnostic methods to solve medical problems quickly, without stress or unnecessary hospitalization.

Appointments are conducted by surgeons with many years of clinical experience who specialize in minor surgical procedures, treatment of complicated wounds, skin lesions, and inflammatory processes. We work according to the principle “one visit — one solution,” whenever the clinical situation allows.

How a surgical consultation at ZDRAVO is conducted

Each visit is organized so that the patient receives not just a consultation, but a clear understanding of the next steps.

A standard appointment includes:

• a detailed medical history review, including past illnesses, surgeries, and medications;
• examination of the affected area with assessment of tissue condition;
• establishing a preliminary or final diagnosis;
• prescription of necessary laboratory tests or instrumental examinations (if indicated);
• development of an individual treatment plan;
• the possibility of performing an outpatient procedure on the day of the visit;
• providing written recommendations for care and recovery.

In most cases, the patient leaves the clinic with the problem already resolved or with a clear plan of further actions, without the need for repeat consultations.

Medical procedures performed

The department provides a full range of outpatient surgical services. These include interventions for acute inflammation, uncomplicated injuries and benign neoplasms. Common procedures include:

• Removal of soft tissue neoplasms (atheromas, lipomas, fibromas) up to 5 mm or over 5 mm in size, depending on the clinical situation.
• Opening abscesses and felons, puncturing haematomas, draining with subsequent healing control.
• Applying sutures after injuries, as well as removing sutures after surgical interventions or early healing.
• Resection of the nail plate in case of partial or complete damage (ingrown nail, purulent inflammation).
• Treatment of ingrown nails — by conservative methods or by resection of part/all of the nail plate, followed by monitoring of healing.
• Removal of dermatofibromas — benign skin formations that can cause aesthetic or functional discomfort.
• Removal of nevi (moles) — in case of injury, changes in size or shape, as well as at the patient's request for cosmetic purposes.
• Removal of other skin neoplasms — as an outpatient procedure after consultation with a surgeon.
• Local anaesthesia before procedures requiring pain relief.
• Wound dressings — small, large (with sanitation), with dressing replacement or antiseptic treatment.

Each procedure is performed in compliance with all requirements for asepsis and antisepsis, using disposable materials and modern preparations. In complex or advanced cases, the surgeon may also refer the patient to a specialised hospital for further treatment.

Indications for consulting a private surgeon

It is advisable to consult a general surgeon in Mykolaiv in the following cases:

• the appearance of lumps, painful or painless growths on the skin and in the subcutaneous tissue;
• signs of acute inflammation — redness, increased temperature in the affected area, localised swelling;
• injuries, cuts, bites, wounds with skin integrity compromised;
• complications in the postoperative period requiring dressings, sanitation or follow-up examination;
• ingrown nails, chronic injury to the nail plate, frequent purulent processes around the nail fold;
• the appearance of dermatofibromas, nevi, and other skin formations that change in size, colour, or interfere with daily life;
• the need for a preventive examination to rule out surgical pathology.

Ignoring symptoms or self-treatment can lead to disease progression and complications. That is why a timely consultation with a surgeon allows for a timely diagnosis and selection of the most effective approach.
