Minor Surgery

Clinic-Based Surgery Without the Hospital Wait

Not every surgical procedure needs a hospital. Many common conditions can be treated safely and efficiently right here at Purple Medical, under local anesthesia, in a sterile clinical environment.
Our physicians perform a range of minor surgical procedures including cyst removal, mole excision, skin biopsies, abscess drainage, lipoma removal, and ingrown toenail correction. These are the same procedures done in hospital ERs, but without the long wait, the parking headaches, or the unfamiliar setting.
Most procedures take under 30 minutes. You walk in, get treated, and go home the same day with clear aftercare instructions.

Local anesthesia numbs the area completely. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but no pain. The injection itself feels like a brief pinch.

Most minor surgeries take 15 to 30 minutes. Plan for about 45 minutes total including preparation and aftercare instructions.

It depends on the procedure. Cyst removals and excisional biopsies typically require stitches, which are removed at a follow-up visit in 7 to 14 days. Some procedures use adhesive strips instead.

No referral is needed for most minor surgical procedures. You can book directly or walk in. Your physician will assess whether the procedure can be done in-clinic or requires a specialist.

Most medically necessary minor surgeries are covered by MSP (BC Medical Services Plan). Cosmetic procedures may not be covered. We will confirm coverage before proceeding.
