Breast Surgery
Facing the possibility of surgery can be daunting, but knowing more about your diagnosis and treatment options can be empowering.
Breast Biopsies
One of the first crucial steps in the diagnostic process is a breast biopsy, a procedure often used in oncoplastic breast surgery.
Wide Local Excision (Lumpectomy)
A Wide Local Excision, also referred to as breast conservation surgery, targets the removal of cancerous tissue along with a small margin of surrounding healthy breast tissue. Here’s what the surgery involves:
Hookwire Localised Breast Surgery
Hookwire localised breast surgery uses a "hookwire" - a thin, flexible wire - inserted into the breast to precisely mark the location of a tumour for a surgeon.
Sentinel Node Biopsy
Sentinel Node Biopsy is a surgical procedure performed to identify and remove the sentinel lymph nodes, which are the first lymph nodes that cancer cells are likely to spread to from the primary tumor in the breast.
Axillary Lymph Node Clearance
Axillary Lymph Node Clearance Surgery, also known as axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), is a procedure commonly performed in oncoplastic breast surgery to remove lymph nodes from the underarm area.
Therapeutic Mammaplasty
Therapeutic Mammaplasty is a specialised procedure within oncoplastic breast surgery. Let's explore what this surgery involves, why it may be recommended, and what to expect before, during, and after the operation.
Chest Wall Perforator Flap Reconstruction
Perforator flap reconstruction is a sophisticated surgical technique used to rebuild the breast following mastectomy (breast removal)
Reconstructive Breast Surgery
Breast reconstructive surgery is the rebuilding of the breast mound using various techniques to create a natural-looking result.
