What exactly is breast lump surgery?

Breast lump surgery, also known as lumpectomy or breast-conserving surgery, is a procedure that involves the surgical removal of a lump or mass from the breast. The aim of the surgery is to remove the lump while preserving as much healthy breast tissue as possible. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision near the lump to remove it along with a margin of surrounding tissue. The incision is then closed with sutures. Breast lump surgery is commonly performed to investigate and treat both benign and malignant breast lumps, providing a more targeted and localized approach compared to complete breast removal (mastectomy).

Steps Involved in Breast Lumps Surgery with ace medicare

Diagnosis 

The plastic surgeon will do a thorough examination, which will include- 

  • Physical examination, in which the surgeon evaluates the breast lump by touching it and applying gentle pressure to assess discomfort around the afflicted region. 
  • To rule out any underlying reason, the surgeon will inquire about your medical history, family medical history, and current medications if you are taking any. 
  • During breast lump therapy, the surgeon will propose a few diagnostic procedures to determine the severity and kind of lumps, such as a mammography, breast ultrasound, MRI scan, CT scan, or biopsy. 
Procedure 

The plastic surgeon will decide the optimal strategy for breast lump removal surgery after a comprehensive diagnosis. Breast lumps can be eliminated using a variety of techniques-

  • Lumpectomy- The procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon while under the influence of anesthetic. The plastic surgeon uses this approach to create an incision on the nipple-areolar to access the afflicted area and accurately remove the lump without damaging other breast tissues. Sutures will be used to close the incision when the lumpectomy is done. When compared to typical breast removal surgical approaches, this surgery leaves less scars. 
  • Open surgery is the most common type of breast lump removal surgery. In this operation, the surgeon makes incisions in the breast to reach and remove the breast lump. Following the removal of the breast lump, the surgeon closes the incision to secure the surgical site. General surgeons frequently use this procedure. In comparison to the lumpectomy approach, this surgery has a higher risk of infection, hazards, and noticeable scars.
