Modern surgery makes it possible to effectively remove the pathological focus, preserve the patient's health, and, whenever possible, maintain the aesthetic appearance of the breast.
At the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, procedures of varying complexity are performed using modern surgical technologies. An individualized approach allows specialists to select the optimal treatment strategy based on the diagnosis, age, and overall health of each patient.
Types of Breast Surgery
The scope of surgical intervention is determined after comprehensive diagnostics and depends on the nature of the disease.
The most common types of surgery include:
- Sectoral resection
- Lumpectomy
- Radical mastectomy
- Removal of benign tumors
- Drainage or removal of breast abscesses
- Reconstructive surgery
Each type of procedure has specific indications and is performed according to modern medical standards.
Sectoral Resection
Sectoral resection is a breast-conserving operation during which a section of the breast containing the pathological formation is removed along with a small amount of surrounding tissue.
This method is used for:
- Fibroadenomas
- Certain cysts
- Benign tumors
- Early-stage oncological diseases
The main advantage of this procedure is preservation of most of the breast tissue.
Radical Mastectomy
Radical mastectomy is performed for advanced breast cancer or when breast-conserving surgery is not possible.
During the procedure, the breast is removed, and if necessary, nearby lymph nodes and surrounding tissues are also removed.
The extent of surgery is determined individually after a complete examination.
Lumpectomy
Lumpectomy is a breast-conserving procedure used mainly to treat small malignant tumors.
During the operation, the breast tumor is removed with a minimal amount of surrounding healthy tissue.
This approach helps preserve the shape of the breast while ensuring effective treatment.
Indications for Surgery
Breast surgery is performed for various diseases.
The main indications include:
- Benign tumors
- Fibroadenomas
- Suspicion of malignancy
- Breast cancer
- Inflammatory processes
- Abscesses
- Rapid enlargement of a mass
- High risk of complications
The decision about whether surgery is necessary is made after consultation with a mammologist and surgeon.
How Breast Surgery Is Performed
Before surgical treatment, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination.
It includes:
- Consultation with a mammologist
- Ultrasound examination
- Mammography
- Laboratory tests
- Biopsy, if necessary
- Consultation with an anesthesiologist
After preparation, surgery is performed, with the scope determined individually.
Modern surgical methods help preserve healthy tissue as much as possible and achieve a good cosmetic result.
Rehabilitation After Surgery
After surgical treatment, the patient remains under specialist supervision.
For successful recovery, patients are advised to:
- Follow the doctor's recommendations
- Limit physical activity
- Properly care for the postoperative wound
- Follow the prescribed medication therapy
- Attend regular follow-up appointments
- Gradually return to normal activity
Comprehensive rehabilitation helps speed up recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
Cost of Breast Surgery
Many patients ask how much breast surgery costs. The cost of treatment is calculated individually after consultation with a specialist.
The final price depends on:
- Established diagnosis
- Scope of surgical intervention
- Need for additional tests
- Length of hospital stay
- Complexity of the operation
- Scope of postoperative rehabilitation
Accurate pricing information is provided after diagnostics and development of an individualized treatment plan.
How should I prepare for breast surgery?
Before surgery, patients should consult a mammologist and surgeon, complete laboratory and instrumental examinations, and follow the doctor's preparation recommendations.
How long does recovery take after surgery?
Recovery time depends on the extent of the operation and the individual characteristics of the body. Recovery is usually faster after breast-conserving procedures, but the final timeline is determined by the treating physician.
Can the breast be preserved during breast cancer treatment?
In many cases, breast-conserving surgery is possible when the disease is detected early. The decision is made individually after a complete examination, taking into account tumor size, disease stage, and the patient's overall condition.
