Your wellbeing in expert hands: quick, safe procedures without hospital admission
At our clinic, we perform minor outpatient dermatological and podiatric surgery in Sotogrande, a set of medical procedures designed to treat skin lesions and foot conditions quickly and effectively. We understand that your time and peace of mind are a priority; that is why we offer a comprehensive service that allows these problems to be resolved with absolute precision and without the inconvenience of traditional hospitalisation.
These procedures are carried out in our minor surgery operating theatre, equipped with advanced technology and following strict sterilisation protocols. As they are performed exclusively under local anaesthetic, we ensure a safe and minimally invasive process that allows the patient to return home the same day, resuming their routine without long waiting times or major disruptions.

Minor Surgery Treatments
Dermatological Surgery Unit
Dermatological surgery allows skin lesions to be diagnosed and treated for both medical and aesthetic reasons.
At our clinic, we perform skin lesion excision procedures in Sotogrande, using precise surgical techniques that minimise scarring and allow for a quick recovery.
The most common dermatological treatments are:
- Mole removal (nevus excision).
- Wart removal.
- Facial wart removal.
- Removal of skin tags or soft fibromas.
- Excision of sebaceous cysts.
- Lipoma removal.
- Removal of seborrhoeic keratoses.
- Diagnostic skin biopsy.

- Melanoma or malignant tumour.
When medically indicated, the excised lesions are sent for histopathological analysis to confirm the diagnosis.
Dermatological surgery allows skin lesions to be diagnosed early and improves the appearance of the skin through minimally invasive procedures.
Podiatric Surgery Unit
Podiatric surgery allows foot conditions that can cause pain, infections or difficulty walking to be treated.
At our clinic, we perform outpatient podiatric surgery in Sotogrande, using safe procedures that allow the problem to be resolved definitively in many cases.
Minor foot surgery
The most common procedures include:
- Ingrown toenail surgery.
- Surgical treatment of onychocryptosis.

An ingrown toenail is one of the most common foot conditions and can cause recurrent infections. Phenol-alcohol nail surgery allows the root of the problem to be corrected and helps prevent recurrence.
