What is Breast Surgery?
Breast surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures performed on the breast for either medical or cosmetic reasons. In general surgery, the focus is often on treating breast cancer, removing benign lumps, or reconstructing the breast after medical conditions.
Why is breast surgery needed?
Breast surgery may be recommended for:
-
Breast cancer treatment (lumpectomy, mastectomy)
-
Benign lumps or cysts causing discomfort or diagnostic uncertainty
-
Breast reconstruction after cancer surgery
-
Correction of congenital or structural abnormalities
Early surgical intervention can be life-saving in the case of cancer and significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.
Types of Breast Surgery
Lumpectomy
Removal of a lump while preserving most of the breast tissue.
Mastectomy
Removal of one or both breasts, often due to cancer.
Breast Reconstruction
Restoring the shape of the breast after mastectomy, sometimes using implants or tissue flaps.
Benign Tumor Removal
Simple excision of non-cancerous growths.
