Breast surgery
What is breast surgery, and who is it performed on?
Breast surgery is a medical procedure designed to diagnose and treat various breast problems, both to restore function and improve health. It is performed on patients with changes in breast tissue, benign breast tumours, suspicious lumps or other pathological changes, and in situations where cancer treatment or breast reconstruction is necessary after tumour removal.
Breast surgery can also be used to remove foreign bodies, biopsy formations, or reduce breast tissue if it causes discomfort or functional impairment.
The purpose of breast surgery and its benefits for patients
Modern breast surgery offers patients a number of significant benefits:
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment — surgery allows the effective removal of suspicious or pathological tissue, with detailed histological analysis after the operation;
- Life-saving in cancer cases — breast tumour surgery, including lumpectomy or mastectomy, can be an important part of cancer treatment;
- Removal of benign growths — surgery can remove fibroadenomas, cysts or other benign changes that cause discomfort or psychological problems;
- Improving aesthetic and physical comfort — surgical treatment can help improve breast shape, reduce pain or discomfort associated with large breast size, and ease inconvenience in daily life (if applicable).
Modern breast surgery techniques are gentle on tissue, reduce post-operative discomfort and speed up recovery, while maintaining functional and aesthetic quality.
Preparing for breast surgery
Proper preparation is important for successful breast surgery and recovery. Patients are typically given the following recommendations before surgery:
- Medical examination and consultation, including blood tests or other diagnostic methods, to assess health and determine the most appropriate surgical approach;
- An assessment by an anesthesiologist to determine the safe type of anaesthesia and plan the procedure;
- Instructions on the use of medications, especially if certain medications or dietary supplements that may affect bleeding or the course of the operation need to be avoided;
- Practical measures for preparation at home include creating a rest area and arranging for assistance in the first few days after the operation.
This preparation ensures the patient's body is ready for the procedure and helps reduce the risk of complications during the operation and in the subsequent recovery period.
