Breast Surgery

Breast surgery is a specialized field focusing on the treatment of breast health issues, including diseases and conditions requiring surgical intervention. It involves the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of breast conditions such as breast cancer, fibroadenomas, and breast infections. Common procedures in breast surgery include mastectomy, the removal of the entire breast, and lumpectomy, which involves the removal of a tumor and a portion of surrounding tissue. Breast surgery also encompasses breast reconstruction to restore the shape of the breast after a mastectomy. Additionally, breast surgeons may perform biopsies to determine if tumors are benign or malignant and provide treatment for non-cancerous conditions such as abnormal breast enlargement. Treatment approaches depend on the specific diagnosis and stage of the disease, often requiring an integrated medical team for comprehensive care.
