How effective is minimally invasive surgery for breast cysts?

Minimally invasive surgery for breast cysts is often more effective, especially for larger cysts or those that recur repeatedly. It can reduce postoperative complications, shorten recovery time, and have less impact on the appearance of the breast.

Breast cysts are a common benign breast disease that usually manifests as fluid cystic structures in the breast. Many cysts may not have obvious symptoms, and some larger cysts may cause tenderness, discomfort, or deformity of appearance. Minimally invasive surgery is currently an advanced treatment for breast cysts. It uses small incisions or acupuncture to drain cystic fluid or remove cystic walls, avoiding the large-area incisions of traditional surgery.

The advantages of this surgical method are small wounds, quick recovery, short operation time, and improved quality of life for patients. Through precise guidance of color ultrasound or endoscope, doctors can accurately locate the lesions while preserving healthy tissue to the greatest extent. However, not all breast cysts are suitable for minimally invasive surgery. Small, asymptomatic cysts usually do not require surgery, while cancerous lesions may require more complex treatments.

If you feel breast pain, discomfort, or notice a lump, please see a doctor as soon as possible. Ultrasound and other imaging tests can help clarify the condition, and choose the appropriate treatment method according to the doctor's advice. Regular breast self-examination and annual physical examinations can help early detection and early treatment.
