With the gradual popularization of lumpectomy, I have found that the majority of patients are not very clear about the purpose and significance of lumpectomy, and some of our colleagues are not particularly clear about it either. Therefore, I feel the need to explain and publicize the following: Lumpectomy is not just a so-called “minimally invasive” surgery, although it has almost all the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. From a professional point of view, it is a hernia surgeon with extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery, who uses the laparoscope as a technical means to completely cover the musculopubic foramen, the congenital weak area in which all inguinal hernias and femoral hernias occur in human beings, with an appropriately sized patch under direct visualization to achieve a one-time repair and minimize the recurrence of the hernia. recurrence of the hernia is minimized. Therefore, for a hernia surgeon, the benefits of laparoscopic hernia surgery are: 1. complete dissection and exposure of the musculopubic foramen under direct visualization; and 2. the ability to easily flatten the patch posterior to the musculopubic foramen. For the layman, a better analogy is that a tire with a hole in it, if you want to patch it, of course, from the inside of the tire, with a flat patch to patch the hole. Instead of patching it with a patch on the outside of the tire. The former will fit the tire better under pressure, while the latter will tend to puff out under pressure.
