Many patients who find breast lumps (nodules) are willing to undergo minimally invasive surgery for cosmetic reasons. At present, the price of the consumables used for the procedure, the “McMurtons needle”, is about 4,000 yuan, which is partially reimbursed by medical insurance, so hospitalization is usually required. The procedure usually requires hospitalization, and the patient is observed in the hospital overnight and discharged on the second day. The following is an introduction to the procedure for this type of surgery: After the outpatient consultation, breast ultrasound examination and face-to-face examination, determine whether the procedure is suitable for minimally invasive surgery; Dr. Sun Shenyou of the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Linyi People’s Hospital will issue an “admission information card”, and then go to the first floor of the main building (or the first floor of the surgery building). Pay the deposit for hospitalization procedures at the “In and Out Settlement Center”. Bring your ultrasound report and hospital records to the nurse’s station on the 14th floor of the main building to have your temperature and blood pressure taken. Before 7:00 a.m. on the second day of hospitalization, go to the nurse’s station on the 14th floor on an empty stomach (no food or water in the morning) to have blood tests. On the day of admission or within the 2nd day, complete chest X-ray, ECG, mammogram if necessary, and determine the proposed surgery time with the surgeon. 1 day before surgery, bring the breast ultrasound report form and ultrasound positioning request form (prescription, stamped at the nurse’s desk and hospitalization office respectively) to the ultrasound department for positioning at 4 pm. Minimally invasive breast surgery is performed under local anesthesia. No fasting is required on the day of surgery. Postoperative elastic chest bandage is applied to the chest and 1 bottle of rehydration fluid is required on the same day. No more fluids were administered on the 2nd postoperative day, and the patient was discharged around 11:00 am. Return to the 14th floor by 8:00 a.m. 72 hours after the surgery to remove the chest elastic chest band and check the incision. One week after the surgery, the incision band-aids will be removed by yourself and you can take a shower. If the pathology is abnormal, you will be notified by phone from the hospital during this period. Cost: From admission to discharge, the total cost, such as a single breast lump, is about 6-7 thousand yuan, and for each additional lesion, an additional fee of 880 yuan is charged for the surgery. The specific reimbursement ratio is higher for urban workers, and after the merger of the New Agricultural Cooperative and urban residents’ medical insurance, the reimbursement is relatively less.
