Surgery
Surgery can be done to remove tumors and improve the function of vital organs.
If a growth caused by tuberous sclerosis progresses and affects some basic functions of the body, surgery might be the last option to prevent further complications. It can be performed to remove the whole or a part of the growth in your heart, kidney, or lung, depending on the location. Also, surgery might be performed to help manage symptoms of seizures when medications do not work. While there are many surgical procedures to choose for skin growths, the two most common options are a laser treatment and dermabrasion. Make sure to discuss with your doctor carefully before proceeding. You might need to stay in the hospital for a few days or weeks to recover after the surgery. [11]
