Recently, the Thoracic Oncology Department at Beijing GoBroad Hospital, one of GHG medical centers, successfully performed a minimally invasive rotary resection on a patient with a benign breast tumor. The procedure went smoothly, and the patient recovered well, being discharged shortly afterward. This marks a significant advancement for GHG in the field of minimally invasive breast disease treatment, offering patients a safer and more efficient treatment option.

The patient, a 20-year-old woman, visited the hospital after finding a lump in her left breast during a routine check-up. An ultrasound examination and pathological biopsy confirmed it as a fibroadenoma (benign tumor). Considering the patient's high expectations for aesthetics and post-operative recovery, Director Qin Haifeng recommended minimally invasive rotary resection for treatment. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia with ultrasound guidance to precisely locate the tumor. Using a minimally invasive rotary resection device, the surgeon made a tiny incision of just 3-5 mm, allowing for complete removal and extraction of the tumor. The entire procedure took about 20 minutes with minimal blood loss, and the patient experienced no significant discomfort. No sutures were required afterward, and the incision was simply covered with an adhesive bandage. The patient was able to get out of bed and move around on the same day. She was discharged 24 hours later in good condition with no complications. Follow-up appointments showed excellent recovery and high satisfaction with the surgical outcome.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Rotary Resection for Benign Breast Tumors:

1. Minimal Trauma: Incision is only a few millimeters, leaving almost no visible scar.
2. Rapid Recovery: Patients can resume activities on the same day with a short hospital stay.
3. Precision and Safety: Performed under ultrasound guidance, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
4. Aesthetic Results: Ideal for young women with high aesthetic demands.
5. Fewer Complications: Lower risk of infection, bleeding, and other complications compared to traditional surgery.
6. Wide Applicability: Suitable for benign tumors (e.g., fibroadenomas) and some malignant tumors for both diagnosis and treatment.
7. Cost-Effective: Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery reduce overall medical expenses.
8. Advanced Technology: Continuous technological advancements have enhanced the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Expert Advice

Director Qin Haifeng emphasizes that although most breast tumors are benign, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. Minimally invasive rotary resection offers patients an efficient and safe treatment option. It is recommended that individuals with related symptoms seek medical attention early to choose the most suitable treatment plan.

The Thoracic Oncology Department will continue to promote minimally invasive techniques to enhance the quality of medical services and bring benefits to more patients.
