How Breast-Conserving Lumpectomy is performed
Under general or regional anesthesia, the incision is selected according to image localization. A common practice is to excise along the periphery of the mass and strive to obtain tumor-free safe margins; the specimen is sent for pathology and direction markers are made. If applicable, sentinel lymph node biopsy can be performed with tracers to assess axillary involvement. Drainage is placed if necessary and hemostasis and suturing are completed. Postoperative monitoring of the wound and drainage, waiting for pathology results to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
