Surgical Procedures
-
A skin-sparing mastectomy is a surgical procedure in which the breast tissue and the NAC is removed while preserving the skin envelope of the breast, including the skin overlying the breast.
A nipple-sparing mastectomy is a surgical procedure in which the breast tissue is removed while preserving the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). This technique is often used in cases where the breast cancer is confined to the breast tissue and there is no involvement of the nipple or areola.
-
A total mastectomy is a surgical procedure in which the entire breast tissue is removed, including the breast glandular tissue, ducts, skin, and nipple-areolar complex.
-
A prophylactic mastectomy is a preemptive surgical procedure to mitigate the risk of breast cancer development. This proactive approach involves the removal of one or both breasts in individuals deemed to have a heightened susceptibility to breast cancer due to genetic predisposition, family history, or previous breast conditions.
-
Breast conserving surgery, also referred to as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves the precise removal of the tumor along with a small margin of surrounding tissue, preserving the natural appearance and function of the breast to the greatest extent possible. This approach is typically recommended for early-stage breast cancer cases, allowing patients to retain their breast while effectively treating the cancer.
-
An excisional breast biopsy is a surgical procedure to remove a suspicious lump or mass from the breast for further evaluation. It is typically recommended when a lump or imaging studies suggest a high likelihood of cancer. It allows for a definitive diagnosis to be made to help guide further treatment decisions.
-
A sentinel lymph node biopsy is a surgical procedure performed to assess whether cancer has spread from the primary tumor to the nearby lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit). It involves identifying and removing one or a few sentinel lymph nodes, which are the first lymph nodes to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor.
-
An axillary lymph node dissection is a surgical procedure performed to remove a portion of the lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit). This procedure is performed in some patients with breast cancer that has spread to the nearby lymph nodes and to help stage the disease.
-
Oncoplastic surgery is an advanced surgical technique to remove cancerous tissue from the breast while simultaneously preserving the natural appearance and shape of the breast. This is done by blending oncologic (cancer removal) and plastic surgical techniques to achieve optimal cosmetic outcomes.
In-Office Procedures
-
A skin punch biopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a sample of skin tissue for examination. Inflammatory breast cancer and Paget's disease of the breast are two less common but important conditions that may also be diagnosed or evaluated using a skin punch biopsy.
-
Ultrasound-guided aspiration is a specialized procedure used to drain fluid from breast cysts, seromas, and abscesses, providing symptom relief.
-
Incision and drainage (I&D) of a breast abscess is a surgical procedure performed to treat an accumulation of pus within the breast tissue. It is an effective treatment for breast abscesses after unsuccessful aspiration, providing rapid relief of symptoms and facilitating healing of the affected area by thoroughly draining the abscess cavity.
