Fibroadenoma Removal of the Breast at the Helуos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of glandular and connective tissue. It is the most common type of benign breast tumor, particularly found in women of reproductive age. Fibroadenomas are typically painless, movable, and have well-defined borders.

Indications for Fibroadenoma Removal:

Size of the tumor: If the fibroadenoma grows and becomes large, it can cause discomfort or visually change the shape of the breast.
Pain or discomfort: If the tumor causes pain or discomfort when pressed or during physical activity.
Changes in the tumor's characteristics: If changes in the size or consistency of the fibroadenoma are detected during examination.
Psychological discomfort: Many patients choose to remove the fibroadenoma due to psychological discomfort related to the presence of the tumor.
Need to exclude cancer: If there is any suspicion regarding the benign nature of the tumor, removal may be recommended to clarify the diagnosis.

How is the Surgery Performed?

1.Pre-surgical Preparation:

Before surgery, the patient undergoes a series of examinations, such as breast ultrasound or mammography, to more accurately determine the size and location of the tumor. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm its benign nature. Blood tests and a consultation with an anesthesiologist are usually required to determine the best type of anesthesia.

2.Surgical Preparation:

Surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the size and location of the fibroadenoma.
Pre-surgery, the patient may be given sedatives and advice on food intake and medication.

3.Surgery:

The surgery to remove the fibroadenoma is minimally invasive and usually performed through a small incision on the skin of the breast.
The surgeon removes the tumor along with surrounding tissues to minimize the risk of recurrence.
The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on complexity.

4.Postoperative Recovery:

After surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for 1-2 days, depending on the anesthesia used and the overall condition.
Post-surgery, the patient may be prescribed pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and inflammation.
It is important to follow the doctor's instructions on wound care and avoid physical exertion.
After the removal, a histological examination is performed to confirm the benign nature of the tumor.
