Dr. Chen Da Ren said that total mastectomy can remove cancer cells and maintain the appearance of * * * *. (Photo courtesy of Zhang Ji) Dr. Chen Daren, director of the All-round Cancer Center of Changhua Christian Hospital, said that a new type of breast cancer surgery, cancer plastic surgery, emphasizes that while treating breast cancer, it is necessary to thoroughly clean tumor cells and try to maintain the appearance of * * * *.
* * * Surgery Dr. Lai introduced that the overall form of breast cancer resection, including * * * endoscopic minimally invasive surgery, is to peel off the breast and pectoralis major with the help of axillary wounds, and then cut the areola for subcutaneous mastectomy to minimize the wounds, leaving only an inconspicuous wound of about 2 cm in the armpit and areola to reduce obvious scars after surgery. Even total excision can be done in the same way. By hiding the wound in the armpit and areola, it is not easy to detect these wounds and scars after operation. For patients who can keep * * * and areola, it is best to keep the appearance of * * *. In addition, for patients who have undergone total resection, breast implants such as silica gel or saline bag can also be implanted from the same wound under the armpit, and breast cancer can be reconstructed immediately at the same time, so as to reduce the influence on the appearance of * * * after operation.
In addition to minimally invasive endoscopic breast cancer surgery, there is also a * * * preservation surgery, which can preserve the skin as much as possible and reduce the wound surface. Although the operation time is prolonged, the intact skin coverage is retained, which greatly increases the chance of immediate reconstruction. Because of its good touch, jelly silicone rubber has gradually replaced water sac as the mainstream of implant reconstruction.
Dr. Lai Hong Wen said that in the past, the focus of surgeons' work was to clean up tumors, and the challenge for surgeons in the future is "how to make patients more satisfied with their bodies after surgery than before surgery".
