Abstract:
In medicine, surgical practice holds a special place. A common belief among
people is that "if a patient does not recover with medication, surgeons will operate and fix
the problem." Compared to therapeutic practice, surgical procedures are often a significant
psychological test for both patients and their loved ones. Therefore, just like in other medical
fields, psychological support plays a crucial role in surgical practice. Every student choosing
surgery as a profession must understand this aspect. Minor surgical procedures have become
widely used in medicine in recent years and are considered among the most effective
treatments. These procedures are designed to address various medical issues in a convenient
and safe manner. This article examines the effectiveness, safety, and impact of minor
surgical interventions on patients.
Keywords:
surgery, operation, psychological impact, effectiveness analysis, safety analysis,
mental and physical condition.
Аннотация:
В медицине хирургическая практика занимает особое место. Среди
людей существует распространённое мнение: «Если пациент не выздоравливает с
помощью медикаментов, хирурги проводят операцию и решают проблему». В
сравнении с терапевтической практикой хирургические вмешательства часто
становятся значительным психологическим испытанием как для пациентов, так и для
их близких. Поэтому, как и в других медицинских областях, психологическая
поддержка играет важную роль в хирургической практике. Каждый студент,
выбирающий хирургию в качестве профессии, должен понимать этот аспект.
Малые хирургические процедуры в последние годы получили широкое
распространение в медицине и считаются одними из самых эффективных методов
лечения. Эти процедуры направлены на решение различных медицинских проблем
удобным и безопасным способом. В данной статье рассматриваются эффективность,
безопасность и влияние малых хирургических вмешательств на пациентов.
Ключевые слова:
хирургия, операция, психологическое воздействие, анализ
эффективности, анализ безопасности, психическое и физическое состояние.

Effectiveness: Medical and Psychological Benefits
Minor surgical procedures offer several advantages to patients:
1. Medical benefits: Early detection and treatment of diseases.
No need for prolonged hospitalization.
Short recovery period, allowing patients to return to daily life quickly.
2. Psychological benefits:
Enhancing patients' self-confidence by addressing aesthetic concerns.
Quick results that positively affect patients' mental state.

Safety and risk of complications
Minor surgical procedures are relatively safe, as they do not involve extensive invasiveness.

following
risks
should
not
be
overlooked:
Risk of infection – Failure to maintain sterile conditions can lead to inflammation.
Bleeding or hematoma – May occur due to improper use of medical instruments.
Allergic reactions – Can result from anesthesia or medications used during the procedure.
To ensure safety, surgeries must be performed by experienced professionals using
