How to perform surgery on breast cysts

Breast cysts can be treated surgically. Common surgical methods include fine needle aspiration, cystectomy, and minimally invasive surgery. Choosing the right surgical method depends on the size and location of the cyst and the patient's health condition.

1. Fine needle aspiration: Fine needle aspiration is a relatively simple surgical method suitable for smaller breast cysts. The doctor inserts a fine needle into the cyst under ultrasound guidance to extract the fluid inside the cyst to reduce the size of the cyst. This method is less invasive and has a quick recovery, but there may be a risk of cyst recurrence.

2. Cystectomy: For larger or suspicious breast cysts, cystectomy may be necessary. During the operation, the doctor will perform local anesthesia and completely remove the cyst through a small incision. This method can completely remove the cyst and is suitable for cysts that may become malignant, but the recovery period is relatively long.

3. Minimally invasive surgery: Minimally invasive surgery is a treatment method that has gradually become popular in recent years. It has the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery, and less scars. Through an endoscope or other instruments, the doctor makes a small incision in the skin and enters the body to remove the cyst. This method is especially suitable for patients who pursue aesthetics.

There are many surgical treatments for breast cysts, and the right surgical method should be selected based on the patient's specific situation. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to rest and diet, and have regular checkups to ensure smooth recovery. If you suspect you have a breast cyst or feel uncomfortable after surgery, please consult a professional doctor in time to get personalized medical advice and treatment plans. For patients who have undergone surgery, follow-up examinations and care as prescribed by the doctor are the key to ensuring recovery.
