Breast Nodule Surgery Minimally Invasive or Surgery Better

Breast nodule surgeries commonly include minimally invasive and traditional surgeries. The choice of minimally invasive or traditional surgeries needs to be analyzed according to the patient’s specific situation, the size of the breast nodule, the location of the breast nodule, the number of the breast nodule, and the condition of the skin scars, and so on. Minimally invasive surgery refers to minimally invasive surgery performed with the application of a rotary cutter, while traditional surgery refers to open surgery, and the two types of surgery take different approaches. The intuitive difference between traditional surgery and minimally invasive surgery is that the incision becomes smaller and the postoperative recovery is faster. 1. Breast nodule size: For breast nodules smaller than 1cm, traditional surgery cannot accurately touch the nodule and it is more difficult to remove it. Minimally invasive surgery for breast nodules is better when the nodules are accurately localized under ultrasound guidance. For breast nodules larger than 3cm, minimally invasive surgery is more difficult to remove completely, and traditional surgery is preferred. For 1~3cm breast nodule, both types of surgery can be chosen. 2. Location of breast nodules: For superficial nodules, traditional surgery is better and can be easily removed. For deeper nodules, minimally invasive surgery is preferred to avoid greater surgical trauma. 3. Number of breast nodules: For more than 3 breast nodules, minimally invasive surgery is preferred for direct removal. For less than 3 breast nodules, both types of surgery are available. 4. Skin scarring; the advantage of minimally invasive surgery over traditional surgery is that the skin scars are small, so if you have a scarred body, it is better to choose minimally invasive treatment according to the situation. In addition, it is clear that malignant breast nodules prohibit the use of minimally invasive rotary excision of breast lumps. It is recommended that patients with breast nodules seek medical attention in a timely manner, and under the guidance of the doctor, who will choose the appropriate surgical procedure according to the patient’s specific situation.
