Minor procedures are  surgical interventions that are typically less invasive and require less time for recovery compared to major surgeries. These procedures often involve minimal surgical intervention and can be performed in outpatient settings meaning patients can go home the same day. Examples of minor procedures include cyst removal, biopsy, suturing of small wounds  and draining abscesses. They generally carry lower risks, require only local anesthesia and have shorter recovery periods. Despite their simplicity minor procedures are essential in diagnosing conditions, preventing complications and providing effective treatment for various minor medical issues.
