Lipoma. Ambulatory Surgical Procedures. Integrality in Health. Unified Health System. Family Health StrategyAbstract
The implementation of surgical procedures in the Basic Health Unit is recommended and described in the literature. However, such practice has been less and less applied in primary care. In a context of overcrowding of tertiary hospitals and consequent inoperability of elective surgical procedures it is of utmost importance and resolutivity carrying out these procedures in the Family Clinic/Basic Health Unit. In this article, we present a case of a patient who underwent excision of a crippling giant lipoma in the left popliteal fossa, with 12 years of evolution and unsuccessful attempts of surgical resolution in a tertiary hospital.
