What is Minor Surgery?  

A minor surgical procedure involving an incision with instruments that can be performed in a brief period of time–usually in less than 1 hour under local anesthesia, does not–under normal circumstances—constitute a major hazard to life or function of organs or body parts.  

Minor Surgeries does not generally require hospitalization and may be performed electively.  Some conditions can be treated by cryosurgery (warts destruction) or simple excision (mole biopsy) which just requires a little local anesthetic and a few minutes of your time.
