Abstract:
Objective To discuss the efficacy of fiberoptic ductoscopy(FDS)in the treatment of mammary duct diseases with nipple discharge.Methods Fiberoptic ductoscopy was utilized for diagnosing and treating exudative lesions in the mammary duct in 72 cases(80 sides).After the lesion was detected under ductoscope,repeated irrigation using normal saline was performed until the flocculent discharge disappeared.Intraductal drug administration(dexamethasone 5 mg and gentamycin 40 000 U)was given during the retreat of ductoscope.Results There were 57 sides of galactophoritis and 23 sides of mammary duct ectasia.A complete recovery was achieved in 65 sides(nipple discharge disappeared completely and no relapse occurred in 6 months),in which a follow-up for 1～2 years showed no recurrence.A remarkable improvement was obtained in 15 sides(nipple discharge significantly reduced,or progressively decreased within 6 months,or underwear wetted occasionally).Conclusions Fiberoptic ductoscopy in the treatment of mammary duct lesions with abnormal nipple discharge is effective.
