The Surgical Clinic NZOZ Twój Lekarz team has gained a new specialist and a new range of services. Dr. Łukasz Wajs has joined the group of doctors, who in his work at the clinic combines knowledge in the field of general surgery with modern methods of bariatric surgery, treatment of varicose veins with sclerotherapy and care for patients with difficult-to-heal wounds. 

The NZOZ Twój Lekarz Surgical Clinic has been specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid and parathyroid diseases for years. Within the scope of endocrine surgery, it offers ultrasound (USG) of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, fine-needle biopsy of nodular lesions and comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care. 

The clinic offers both specialist consultations and minor outpatient procedures, such as removal of skin lesions (with the possibility of histopathological examination), changing dressings or qualifying for planned surgeries. Services are available under a contract with the National Health Fund and for a fee.

THE MOST COMMON INDICATIONS FOR VISITS TO THE SURGICAL CLINIC NZOZ YOUR DOCTOR

It is worth seeing a surgeon when symptoms are chronic, recurring or cause concern. Here are the situations in which you should not delay a visit:

• Skin lesions – e.g. sebaceous cysts, warts, lipomas, cysts. If they change shape, grow or cause discomfort, it is worth consulting and possibly removing them.
• Thyroid or parathyroid abnormalities – nodules, enlargement of the gland, or difficulty swallowing – should be evaluated by a specialist.
• Varicose veins of the lower limbs – manifested by pain, a feeling of heaviness in the legs, and visible thickening of the veins.
• Difficult-to-heal wounds – especially in people with diabetes or circulatory disorders.
• Obesity resistant to conservative treatment – in such cases it is possible to consider surgical treatment (bariatric surgery).
• Preparing for surgery – the surgeon will assess your overall health and help you plan your further treatment.
• Foot problems – such as ingrown toenails, calluses, recurring corns – may require surgical intervention.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DELAY VISITING A SURGEON?

• Lower risk of complications – elective procedures are safer and less burdensome.
• Shorter hospital stay – smaller scope of surgery means faster recovery.
• Better oncological prognosis – rapid diagnosis means a greater chance of effective treatment.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT?

• Take your test results (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI, laboratory analyses).
• Write down any medications you are taking, any allergies, and important dates (e.g. previous surgeries).
• Prepare a list of questions about the treatment plan, risks of surgery, and recovery time.

REMEMBER – SURGICAL CONSULTATION DOES NOT ALWAYS LEAD TO SURGERY

A visit to a surgeon is, above all, a chance to thoroughly assess symptoms, diagnose and plan treatment – not always surgical. If you notice worrying symptoms, do not wait for them to “go away on their own”. Make an appointment and take care of your health with the help of specialists from the NZOZ Twój Lekarz surgical clinic.
