Minor Surgical Procedures & Medical Circumcision in Trichardt

Medical male circumcision is an important health procedure sought for medical indications (such as phimosis, recurrent balanitis, or urinary tract infection prevention), hygiene, and cultural or personal preference. At Terranova Medics, all medical circumcisions are performed personally by Dr C. Mbowane in our sterile treatment cubicles using modern aseptic technique and effective local anaesthesia.

Before any procedure, we conduct a pre-operative clinical assessment to review general health, rule out bleeding disorders or local infection, and obtain full informed consent (or parental consent for minors). Patients and parents receive clear written and verbal wound-care instructions alongside scheduled post-procedure check-ups to ensure smooth, uncomplicated healing.

• Pre-procedure clinical screening and informed consent consultation
• Performed under local anaesthesia with strict sterile technique
• Appropriate analgesia, post-operative dressing care, and scheduled healing reviews
• Available for infants, boys, adolescents, and adult men

Many minor surgical conditions can be treated safely and comfortably in a well-equipped primary care procedure room without the cost and waiting times of a hospital emergency department or surgical theatre. Our Windmill Centre clinic features dedicated clinical cubicles for acute wound suturing, abscess incision and drainage, foreign body removal, and cryotherapy or excision of benign skin lesions.

Every procedure follows strict infection-prevention protocols, using sterile instruments and local anaesthetic blocks to maximise patient comfort.

• Cleaning, debridement, and suturing of acute skin lacerations and cuts
• Incision and drainage of painful skin abscesses and infected sebaceous cysts
• Ingrown toenail wedge resections and nail-bed procedures
• Excision or treatment of benign skin tags, warts, and superficial lesions

Proper aftercare is essential for rapid wound healing and tidy cosmetic results. Following any minor surgical procedure or circumcision at Terranova Medics, we provide the initial sterile dressing, prescribe appropriate pain relief or targeted antibiotic cover when clinically indicated, and schedule a follow-up dressing change or suture-removal appointment.

Should you have any questions during recovery, our team is reachable via telephone on 017 518 0169 or WhatsApp on 082 968 5275.

• Step-by-step home wound hygiene and dressing guidance
• Scheduled suture removal and wound-healing inspection visits
• Included for eligible minor procedures under our Gold Monthly Care Plan (R950/month) or medical aid benefits

Many South African medical aid schemes cover in-rooms minor surgical procedures and medical circumcision from risk or day-to-day procedure benefits when performed in a GP's rooms rather than in hospital. For private cash patients, we provide a clear, itemised quotation during your pre-procedure assessment so there are no unexpected costs.

Our Gold In-House Subscription Plan (R950/month) also includes selected minor procedures as part of its comprehensive benefit structure.

• Medical aid tariff claim submission for in-rooms procedures
• Upfront private cash quotes before any procedure is performed
• Avoids costly hospital theatre and facility admission fees
