How Breast-conserving Lumpectomy (±SLNB) is performed
If applicable, imaging localization or marker placement can be performed first to clarify the lesion. Typically, under general anesthesia, the tumor is removed through a small incision in the breast, preserving a safe margin, and the specimen is marked for pathological evaluation. For clinically node-negative axillae, tracers or radioactive tracers are often used to locate sentinel lymph nodes, and a small number are excised for examination. Drainage is placed if necessary, and layered sutures are performed. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and wound assessment, awaiting final pathology to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
