Abstract:
Objective To explore the methods and significance of section of multiple fibroadeno mas of breast with better incision.Methods From may 2005 to December 2014,21 cases were per formed by removing multiple fibroadenomas of breast with a new incision.Preoperatively,the diag nostic work-up included clinical examination,breast ultrasonography and/or mammography.A new approach,for removing of multiple fibroadenomas of the breast with the incision in periareolar site,was used in our hospital.All palpable breast lumps were excised with this approach through which the fibroadenomas were removed as a whole unit.Then,the breast cavity were irrigated with normal saline solution,and strict haemostasis of the bed was done by electrocautery.If the resulted cavity was larger,interrupted sutures should be performed with the absorbable stitches;otherwise,it was unnecessary.The skin wound was sutured to the deepithelialized area with Vicryl 5-0 (Ethicon).Results There were 21 cases,who underwent surgery using the described technique through which 95 lumps (0.5 cm× 0.5 cm-6.0 cm× 5.0 cm) were removed and included in the study.All patients' resected tumor specimens were pathologically confirmed as fibroadenoma.No major complications were encountered in any of the patients.The incision was well concealed by the dome of the nipple and the areolar pigmented and corrugated skin.Both doctors and patients were satisfied with postoperative aesthetic effect of the incision scar.Conclusions The incision in periareolar site for excision of multiple fibroadenomatas results in minimal scarring and a better appearance than that can be achieved with traditional methods.This technique,which can improve the aesthetic outcome of breast surgery,should be performed when feasible.
