What is Breast Surgery?
Breast surgery refers to any medical procedure used to treat conditions affecting the breast. These surgeries are commonly performed to remove tumors or cancerous tissue, but they may also address benign conditions such as cysts or fibroids. At Karnataka Cancer Hospital, we offer various types of Breast Surgery, including:
- Trucut Biopsy: A diagnostic procedure used to extract tissue from a suspicious area in the breast to check for cancer.
- Mastectomy: Surgical removal of the entire breast tissue, often done for breast cancer treatment.
- Oncoplastic Surgery: A combination of cancer surgery and plastic surgery to remove the tumor and reshape the breast, preserving as much of the breast tissue as possible for cosmetic reasons.
- Cosmetic Breast Reconstruction: After a mastectomy, we offer reconstructive surgery to restore the shape and appearance of the breast using tissue from other parts of the body or implants.
- Sentinel Node Biopsy: A procedure to remove and test the first lymph node(s) that cancer cells are most likely to spread to, helping to determine the stage of the cancer.
Why is Breast Surgery Needed?
Breast surgery is often required for several reasons, including both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions:
- Breast Cancer: The most common reason for breast surgery. Surgery can involve removing tumors or performing a mastectomy to prevent the spread of cancer.
- Benign Conditions: Non-cancerous tumors such as fibroadenomas or cysts can cause pain or discomfort, and surgery may be required for relief.
- Preventive Measures: Women at high risk of breast cancer may undergo prophylactic mastectomies to reduce their risk of developing cancer.
- Sentinel Node Biopsy: Following a mastectomy, many women opt for cosmetic breast reconstruction to restore the breast's natural look and feel.
Without timely surgery, conditions like breast cancer can spread, leading to more aggressive treatments and a lower chance of successful recovery. Early intervention and appropriate surgical options can dramatically improve prognosis and quality of life.
