Surgical Department at Polyclinic.ae
At Polyclinic.ae, two experienced surgeons provide fast, effective, and high-quality surgical care. Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to be treated without hospitalization and with minimal discomfort.
We perform removal of lipomas, cysts, sebaceous growths, ingrown nails, incision and drainage of abscesses, as well as wound care and suturing after injuries — all in accordance with modern medical standards.
When required, our surgeons also perform full-scale inpatient surgeries, including appendectomy, hernia repair, abdominal wall procedures, and other operations that require hospitalization and postoperative care. Many of these procedures are available under insurance coverage.
We adhere to modern surgical techniques and technologies, following both international and national protocols to ensure precision, safety, and the best possible outcomes for every patient.
