How Ductoscopic-guided Microdochectomy is performed
This procedure can be performed with the assistance of ductoscopy, and combined with dye or guidewire localization if necessary. Usually, a small incision is made along the edge of the areola, and the catheter is tracked to excise the suspicious lesion and a small adjacent segment of the milk duct. The specimen is sent for pathology. Hemostasis and protection of the nipple structure are emphasized during the operation. Postoperative monitoring of blood oozing and nipple sensation is performed, with the goal of clarifying the cause and reducing abnormal secretion. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
