Breast nodule 1cm suitable for minimally invasive or open surgery

Both minimally invasive and open surgery are available for benign breast nodules of 1cm, and the choice of minimally invasive or open surgery needs to be based on the location of the nodule, the number of nodules and other patient’s own situation; open surgery is usually chosen for malignant breast nodules. In general, for breast nodules <1cm, traditional open surgery is more difficult to accurately touch the nodule, and minimally invasive surgery is more accurate compared to subsequent localization. >The minimally invasive surgery is more accurate than the traditional open surgery, and the localization of the nodule is more accurate. The minimally invasive surgery is more difficult to remove the nodule of 3cm, and the traditional open surgery is better, and the minimally invasive surgery and the open surgery can be chosen for the nodule of 1-3cm or less. If the patient's nodule is superficial, open surgery can easily remove it, if the location is deeper, it is recommended to choose minimally invasive, which will not have greater surgical trauma. If the patient has more than 3 breast nodules, minimally invasive is recommended, and if less than 3, both options are available. And if the breast nodules are malignant, minimally invasive surgery is not recommended and usually requires open surgery to remove them. Breast nodule surgery needs to be performed in regular hospitals, and patients should pay attention to a light diet and reasonable rest.
