An excision is a procedure in which an entire lesion or suspicious area of skin is carefully removed for further evaluation. This technique is often used when a provider wants to remove and fully examine a mole, cyst, or possible skin cancer.
Because the full lesion is removed, excision biopsies can serve both a diagnostic and treatment purpose. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and stitches are typically placed afterward to promote healing. 🤍
