What is Lumpectomy Surgery
Lumpectomy, also known as breast-conserving surgery (partial mastectomy) or breast lump excision, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing cancerous or abnormal tissue from the breast while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. It is typically performed as part of breast cancer treatment to remove tumors or suspicious lumps.
Types of Lumpectomy Techniques:
- Traditional Lumpectomy: Involves a direct incision over the tumor, removing it along with surrounding healthy tissue.
- Oncoplastic Lumpectomy: Combines tumor removal with plastic surgery techniques for better cosmetic results, reshaping breast tissue post-surgery.
- Minimally Invasive Lumpectomy: Utilizes imaging technology for precise removal of targeted tissue, offering smaller incisions and quicker recovery times.
- Ultrasound-Guided Lumpectomy: Employs ultrasound technology to locate and remove targeted tissue with minimal invasiveness.
- Stereotactic-Guided Lumpectomy: Utilizes stereotactic imaging to guide the precise removal of breast tissue, minimizing surgical impact and enhancing recovery.
Each breast lump removal surgery is tailored to the individual patient’s specific condition and treatment goals, with the aim of effectively removing the cancerous or abnormal tissue while preserving the natural shape and function of the breast.
