Benign oral lesion removal is a common procedure used to treat non-cancerous growths in the mouth, such as fibromas, papillomas, or mucoceles. These lesions can cause discomfort, interfere with speech or eating, or potentially grow to a size that causes complications.
The removal process typically involves a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Depending on the lesion’s size and location, the procedure can be done using scalpel excision, laser surgery, or cryotherapy.
While benign lesions are not cancerous, removing them can improve the patient's quality of life by relieving symptoms and preventing further complications. After the lesion is removed, the area is often monitored for healing.
Benign oral lesion removal is usually a straightforward procedure, and patients can typically return to normal activities within a few days, depending on the extent of the surgery.
