Minor Procedures in Houston

Support When You Need It Most

Common, small-scale interventions are typically performed in outpatient settings and do not usually need hospitalization. Whereas they are classified as “minor,” these interventions can have significant implications on patients’ health as they address issues before they get more severe. For these procedures, Riviera Medical Center offers a professional environment equipped with the latest technologies under the diligent hand of our skilled team.

What Are Some of the Minor Procedures Performed at Our Center?

At Riviera Medical Center, we often perform a variety of minor medical procedures that are both minimally invasive and don’t require extensive recovery time. For example:

Suturing and Wound Care

Whether it’s after surgery or an accident, you can count on cleaning, stitching, and dressing minor cuts or lacerations

Incision and Drainage

Abscesses or infected wounds? Our team will make small incisions to drain the pus

Removing Foreign Bodies

This involves extracting objects like glass, splinters, or debris from the skin or other soft tissues

Biopsies

When skin biopsies are performed, small samples of tissues are taken for diagnostic purposes

Mole and Skin Tag Removal

Bening skin growths are removed for medical or cosmetic reasons

Ingrown Toenail Removal

Part of the treatment for painful ingrown nails is removing a part or all of the affected nail

Cryotherapy

By using liquid nitrogen warts, skin tags, and other small skin lesions can be removed

Earwax Removal

Irrigation and other specialized tools are used for cleaning out impacted earwax

These procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, which means that there’s no need for hospitalization and you can go home the same day. If you have any doubts about other minor procedures, please contact our practice to get more information.
