What are the precautions for patients undergoing breast surgery?

       Undergoing various breast surgeries because of breast diseases, patients must keep in mind and do the following things to ensure both curing the disease and avoiding the, sometimes irreparable, great harm caused by improper, negligent and wrong surgeries.  1.Benign breast tumor surgery and early cancer surgery, do not leave scar on the surface of the breast.  Breast is the other face of a woman, do not leave unsightly surgical scar on the surface of breast because of the eagerness to cure the disease. Patients should do their best to ask their doctors to do so.  Press Release: For benign breast tumors, regardless of size and whether minimally invasive or open surgery is used, as long as the doctor is attentive and has sufficient professional foundation, scarring on the surface of the breast can be avoided through incision design and fine surgical operation. As long as the surgeon has the concept of “Oncoplastic”, he or she can also avoid scarring the skin on the surface of the breast.  2. Young women who undergo surgery for benign breast tumors should remember to protect the breast lactation function.  The protection of future breastfeeding function of the affected breast is often neglected by both patients and doctors during benign breast tumor surgery, patients should build up this awareness and ask doctors for it.  To protect the breast lactation function, it is important not to damage the ducts and ducts above the medium level and not to leave “isolated” glands during surgery. This can be achieved through the choice of surgery, incision design, professional and delicate operation.  3, benign tumors, other “benign lesions” breast surgery, remember to obtain pathological examination reports after surgery.  It is a clinical rule that tissues removed from the human body must be sent for pathological examination, and it is even more important for breast surgery, so patients should remember!  Note: It often happens that the surgeon discards the tissue after surgery without sending it for pathological examination, or the patient does not ask for the pathological examination report; as a result, it often happens that the preoperative diagnosis is benign but the postoperative examination is cancerous. Once this happens, the unfortunate patient will only be detected when the tumor soon recurs or even metastasizes. In the lighter cases, the condition is delayed and the time for favorable treatment is lost, and in the heavier cases, the cost of life is paid.  4. To diagnose breast cancer and to do total radical breast surgery, the diagnosis must be confirmed by pathological examination before surgery.  For breast cancer or other malignant tumors of the breast, you cannot just rely on the clinical diagnosis or ultrasound or X-ray diagnosis of the doctor to do the total breast excision directly.  The accuracy of clinical diagnosis of breast cancer by palpation can only reach 90% even for the most experienced doctors, and there are often misdiagnosis by imaging. It is a major mistake to remove the whole breast according to malignancy when it is benign, but it can be avoided by preoperative examination.  Among surgical procedures, breast surgery is recognized as a low-risk procedure in the industry, but it is precisely this “low-risk” procedure that causes many patients to suffer from health problems for a variety of reasons that must be taken seriously by both physicians and patients.
