Small surgeries
Dr Halabi-Tawil performs excision of suspicious moles, skin cancers, or other lesions, under local anesthesia, in the dedicated small-surgery facilities at Hotel-Dieu de France’s external consultations tower. After removal, the lesion is sent to the pathology lab for analysis. Stitches are removed in 5-15 days depending on the location.
Biopsies of skin lesions or tumors
Sometimes a skin biopsy is needed to correctly diagnose a skin condition, or to confirm a diagnosis. A small punch-biopsy of 3,5 or 4mm of skin is taken, under local anesthesia, and then sent to pathology for analysis. A few stitches are then made for closure.
