Removal of an Epidermal Cyst

This was the removal of an epidermal cyst that had been infected about a month earlier. For the time frames involved this came out remarkably intact. Typically these don't reform as nicely and are a bit messy. I apologize that the lighting isn't fantastic. I didn't appreciate that at the time of filming. During the procedure I used a scalpel to dissect around the cyst and you certainly could have achieved the same thing with scissors. The insertion of the dermal sutures were a bit challenging as the patient's skin was quite tough. There is certainly a difference here, patient to patient. Otherwise this procedure went relatively well. Feel free to comment as always.
