What are the advantages and disadvantages of different breast cancer surgeries?

We all know that after the diagnosis of breast cancer, there are drug treatment, local radiotherapy, surgical treatment and so on, so what do you know about surgical treatment? Breast cancer surgery can generally be divided into three types: radical surgery, breast-conserving surgery, radical breast surgery and breast reconstruction. What are the disadvantages of different types of surgery? Let’s make a brief introduction. First of all, the most common is the radical operation of breast cancer: this operation to remove the breast, lymph nodes to do a clean, can be better radical, reduce recurrence. The disadvantage is that after the operation, one side of the breast is gone. It has an impact on women’s pursuit of beauty and self-confidence. But regarding some pathological changes are quite small, the SLR, we may also make the breast conservation surgery of the breast cancer: The breast conservation surgery is enlarges the focus to excise, other place’s mammary gland body and the skin, the nipple areola are retained. In this way, their breasts are still there after the operation, and they will not experience the pain of losing their breasts. The disadvantage is that breast-conserving surgery must be treated with radiotherapy, because the risk of local recurrence is higher without radiotherapy. Let’s talk about radical breast surgery and breast reconstruction. This kind of surgery is more suitable for patients with relatively large lesions, not suitable for breast-conserving surgery, but do not want to lose the breast, we can use this method, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the tumor, first do a radical resection of the tumor-related lesions, at the same time or delay can give her a new breast. Breast reconstruction, generally choose silicone prosthesis to do, can also use their own tissue to do. Silicone prosthesis, we use some endoscopic means to do traceless breast reconstruction, the gap is more secret. The advantage is that the incision is relatively simple, no new trauma will be added, and the postoperative effect is also good. The disadvantage is that it may have something to do with this material. The feel of silicone prosthesis is different from that of our autologous tissue. Silicone prosthesis is harder. After the operation, there is a difference between the two, and there is a sense of boundary. In addition, the breast of silicone prosthesis will be relatively straight, it is possible that one side of our breast has begun to sag, the breast of silicone prosthesis is still relatively straight, gradually asymmetric phenomenon. Breast reconstruction with autologous tissue: usually from the back (latissimus dorsi flap) and the lower abdomen. The advantage is that the breast made of autologous tissue has the closest symmetry and feel to the real breast, and the long-term postoperative effect is also very good, and it is also the most natural one. The disadvantage is that breast reconstruction with autologous tissue will add an incision or wound, which is unacceptable to some people. After the above introduction, I believe that patients and friends have a certain understanding of breast cancer surgery.
