Abstract: Objective To explore the possibility of using the mammotome system (MMT) with 2.5 cm spiral cutting mode to resect benign tumor of 3-6 cm in diameter.Methods The study group consisted of 160 patients with tumor of 3-6 cm in diameter,who received treatment of MMT cross combination with parallel rotary cutting method.The control group consisted of 160 patients with tumor ＜ 2.5 cm and received routine MMT operation.The therapeutic effects and complications of the two groups were compared.Chi-sqare test was used for statistical analysis.Results All operations were successful on MMT.There was no statistical difference in intraoperative bleeding,skin ecchymosis and postoperative hematomas between the two groups(x2 =0.251 8,P =0.616;x2 =0.328 2,P =0.567 ;x2 =0.146 3,P =0.702).The hospitalization duration,the operation scar and other complications were similar between the two groups.Conclusions The MMT cross combination with parallel rotary cutting method can be used to resect 3-6 cm benign breast tumors.It has the advantages of safety,efficiency,minimal invasiveness,covertincision,good cosmetic effect and low complications.
