As statistics show, the most common malignant disease in women is precisely breast cancer.
In recent years, surgical methods to get rid of this deadly disease have reached a new level and become more effective. Timely and high-quality diagnosis, it is possible to detect such a dangerous disease at the earliest stages, and, therefore, can not only entail fewer side effects, but also have a very good cosmetic result.
The main principle of the operational elimination of breast cancer is the maximum safety of tissues not affected by the disease. The method of operation will depend on the degree of malignancy of the tumor, the stage of its development, as well as on the general somatic state of the patient.
And what operations on the mammary gland can be performed?
To date can be performed by two methods:
In the first case, we are talking about the removal of the entire mammary gland, and the second option involves only the neutralization of the tumor itself.
If the presence of invasive cancer was detected during the diagnosis, then not only the mammary gland, but also the axillary lymph nodes will be removed during the operation.
And how is the treatment in the postoperative period?
After any surgical intervention, women are usually prescribed an additional course, which includes radiation therapy. Depending on the type of surgery and the stage of the cancer, hormone or chemotherapy can be used.
Also, many experienced and innovative clinics apply a technique in which a single exposure is performed directly during the operation of breast tissue. This procedure will reduce the volume of operations, as well as speed up the healing process, and make it virtually painless.
Moreover, after undergoing surgery on the mammary gland, you can also seek help from specialists who will perform various reconstructive operations at the highest quality.
Reconstructive (reconstructive) surgical intervention after a lumpectomy has been transferred will allow achieving symmetry of both mammary glands. And if we are talking about women who have undergone a mastectomy, then they are more suited not for a breast prosthesis, but for a surgical technique that will restore the shape of the breast. 50% of such patients stop on implants, but the rest choose patchwork, which is based on breast reconstruction using their own tissues. And all these procedures are performed using exclusively innovative and high-quality equipment, which allows you to correct a cosmetic defect and restore faith in your own attractiveness.
