استئصال الورم

Before the Lumpectomy surgery, get detailed information about the procedure. Clear all your doubts. Your doctor will also give you instructions such as:

• Diet and medication detail to be followed a few days before the surgery

• The doctor will provide an overview of the procedure

• Information about recovery and follow up

Your surgeon must know everything about your medical history. You should share every detail about the type of medicine you consume. This will help the surgeon to prepare the treatment plan.

Lumpectomy is performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon uses an electric scalpel that uses heat to reduce the bleeding. This operation generally takes one to two hours. 

Once the surgery is complete, your medical team will closely monitor your physical activities. They will keep you under observation for a few days.

After the Lumpectomy, the patient will be moved to the recovery room. Your length of hospital stay depends on the type of procedure and your health condition. 

The doctor provides care instructions to the patient such as what to eat, what to do, what not to do, schedule for the follow-up and so on. You need to follow all the instructions along with the prescribed medication.

Some patients can go back to their homes on the same day but in critical cases, they need to stay for one or two days in the hospital.

Lumpectomy is a safe procedure with very few complications. Some of the normal complications after the Lumpectomy surgery are:

• Infection

• Poor cosmesis

• Hematoma

• Re-excision

• Bleeding

• Soreness

• Swelling at the site

• Hard scar tissue at the surgery site

• Change in the shape and look of the breast

The patient may also have to go through the second operation to excise more breast tissue. This can happen in the following circumstances:

• If the location of tumor cells are close to the margin of excised Lumpectomy

• The pathology report shows incomplete excised malignant or borderline phyllodes
