Breast Surgery

Breast Surgery plays a crucial role in the treatment of various breast conditions, serving as an essential resource in situations that extend beyond aesthetics. In the oncological context, it is frequently utilized in the treatment of breast cancer, either through conservative surgeries, that aim to preserve as much healthy breast tissue as possible, or through Mastectomies, when complete removal of the breast is necessary to ensure disease control.

Another key aspect is Breast Reconstruction, which can be performed immediately, during the same surgical procedure as the Mastectomy, or delayed, months or even years later, depending on the patient’s clinical evolution and complementary treatments, such as Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy. This procedure has a significant impact on psychological well-being, helping to restore self-esteem and a sense of normality after oncological treatment.

Surgery is also indicated for the treatment of benign breast diseases, such as cysts, fibroadenomas or other breast changes that cause significant pain or discomfort. In these cases, the goal is to ensure breast health, prevent complications and relieve symptoms that affect the patient’s quality of life. In some situations, minor surgeries are performed solely to remove suspicious lesions, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis through biopsy.

The success of breast surgery is directly linked to early diagnosis. For this reason, regular screening with Mammography with Tomosyntheses, Ultrasound and specialised consultations remains essential. Detecting changes at an early stage allows for less invasive treatments with greater preservation of breast tissue, increasing the chances of cure and reducing the physical and emotional impact of the disease.
