Breast Surgeries
About the procedure
Breast surgeries include lumpectomy, mastectomy, and reconstruction, aimed at treating benign or malignant breast conditions. They remove tumors, cysts, or cancerous tissue and may restore breast appearance after trauma or cancer. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with careful removal of affected tissue while preserving healthy tissue. Reconstruction may involve implants or flap techniques. Diagnosis typically includes mammography, ultrasound, MRI, biopsy, and blood tests. Postoperative care focuses on pain management, wound care, and monitoring for recurrence.
Care before the procedure
- Avoid eating or drinking as advised before surgery.
- Inform your doctor about allergies, medications, or chronic illnesses.
- Arrange for transportation and support post-surgery.
- Follow all preoperative instructions for tests and imaging.
Care during the procedure
- General anesthesia ensures you remain unconscious and pain-free.
- Surgeons carefully remove affected tissue while preserving healthy areas.
- Reconstruction techniques may involve implants or tissue flap procedures.
- The surgical team monitors vitals and maintains a sterile environment throughout.
Care after the procedure
- Manage pain with prescribed medications and follow the doctor’s instructions.
- Keep the surgical area clean, dry, and regularly change dressings.
- Limit arm movement and avoid heavy lifting initially.
- Attend follow-up visits for healing assessment and imaging checks.
Eligibility
- Patients diagnosed with benign or malignant breast tumors requiring removal.
- Individuals needing breast reconstruction after mastectomy or trauma for cosmetic restoration.
- People with recurrent cysts, lumps, or suspicious breast lesions needing surgical intervention.
- Patients whose imaging and biopsy confirm malignancy or high risk of breast cancer.
