About Granulation Tissue Surgery

Granulation tissue surgery, performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, is a minor surgical procedure to remove excessive granulation tissue (proud flesh) that can form during the healing process, particularly after childbirth (e.g., on an episiotomy or perineal tear site) or following gynecological surgeries like hysterectomy. This overgrowth of fragile, red, bumpy tissue can cause persistent bleeding, discharge, pain, and discomfort, delaying proper healing. The procedure, often done in an outpatient setting, involves precise excision or cauterization (using silver nitrate or electrical cautery) of the abnormal tissue to promote the growth of healthy skin and complete the healing process. It is a quick, effective solution to resolve chronic post-operative symptoms and restore comfort.
