Breast Surgery
In the Breast Surgery division, the lumps detected in breasts are biopsied and removed, the cavity caused by the tumour removal is filled in, regional lymph nodes are checked in patients with cancer and the lymph nodes involved by the cancer are removed.
Not all lumps detected in the breast are required to be removed. The lump is evaluated in the light of examinations and necessary tests; if it is a simple cyst filled with fluid, it is necessary to remove the lesion. It may be necessary to drain too large and painful cysts, albeit rarely. Close follow-up is sufficient for tumours that are not too large and are verified as benign (fibroadenoma, lipoma, hamartoma etc.).
Fibroadenoma is a benign breast tumour that is common in young women. They usually measure below 2 cm in size and have smooth margins. They are followed up with ultrasound and physical examination at semiannual intervals. They are biopsied if they grow quickly and contours are irregular. Excision and pathological examination are required for suspected tumours. All these procedures can be performed in the General Surgery Clinic of our hospital.
