Our Minor Surgery Protocol
Safe professional procedures:
1. Surgical Consultation (procedure planning): Examination of surgical area, discussion of procedure details, risks, benefits, and expected outcomes. Medical history review to ensure safety for local anesthesia.
2. Local Anesthesia (pain control): Injection of local anesthetic to completely numb the surgical area. You remain awake and comfortable throughout procedure. Most procedures take 15-30 minutes.
3. Sterile Procedure (surgical intervention): Procedure performed using sterile technique in our minor surgery suite. Use of proper surgical instruments and techniques for optimal results. For complex wound care, see our wound treatment services.
4. Post-Operative Care (recovery instructions): Wound dressing application, pain management prescriptions, antibiotic prescriptions if needed, activity restrictions, follow-up appointment scheduling for suture removal or wound check (typically 7-14 days). Most people return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Minor Surgery
What’s the difference between minor and major surgery?
Minor surgery (ambulatory surgery) includes procedures performed under local anesthesia without hospitalization: abscess drainage, cyst removal, skin lesion excision, wound repairs, foreign body removal, and other outpatient procedures. You remain awake, procedures take 15-60 minutes, and you go home the same day. Major surgery requires general anesthesia, operating room facilities, hospitalization, and longer recovery. Examples include appendectomy, hernia repair, or joint surgery. If your condition requires major surgery, we refer to Samui International Hospital or Bangkok Hospital Samui. Most surgical needs for travelers are minor procedures we can handle safely in our Lamai Beach clinic.
Does minor surgery hurt?
Local anesthesia completely numbs the surgical area, so you don’t feel pain during procedures – only pressure or tugging sensations. The local anesthetic injection causes brief stinging (5-10 seconds) then numbness sets in. Most people are surprised how painless procedures are once anesthetized. After surgery, there’s usually mild to moderate discomfort for 1-3 days managed with oral pain medications. Pain is typically less than the original problem (like painful abscess or ingrown toenail). We provide appropriate pain medication prescriptions and instructions on managing post-operative discomfort. Most people need only over-the-counter pain relievers after minor procedures.
Can I travel after minor surgery?
Most minor surgery allows travel within 24-48 hours depending on procedure type and location. Considerations include: avoid swimming at Lamai Beach or Chaweng Beach until wounds are healed (typically 7-14 days), keep surgical sites clean and dry, continue prescribed antibiotics, avoid strenuous activities for 3-5 days, and plan follow-up care for suture removal if leaving Koh Samui. We provide travel advice specific to your procedure. If you’re leaving Thailand soon, we coordinate suture removal timing or provide guidance for care elsewhere. Some procedures (like abscess drainage) have minimal impact on travel, while others require more recovery time.
What are the risks of minor surgery?
Minor surgery is generally very safe but has small risks including: infection (reduced by sterile technique and prophylactic antibiotics), bleeding (controlled during procedure and monitored after), poor wound healing (more common in diabetics or smokers), scarring (minimized by proper technique), local anesthetic reaction (rare), and recurrence of removed lesions (uncommon). We screen for risk factors, use proper surgical technique, provide appropriate antibiotics, and give detailed aftercare instructions to minimize complications. Tropical Koh Samui climate increases infection risk, which is why we emphasize wound care and antibiotic use. Overall, complication rates are low with proper technique and patient compliance with aftercare.
