Abstract:
This article provided a systematic review of the current application and development prospect of minimally invasive surgery for breast cancer in China. Although application of endoscopic and robotic surgical procedures remain limited in breast surgery, they have shown advantages in cosmetic outcomes and postoperative recovery across various procedures, including axillary lymph node dissection, breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy, and breast reconstruction. Nonetheless, further high-quality clinical evidence is needed to confirm their long-term oncological safety. Despite current challenges of prolonged operation time and high medical cost, minimally invasive techniques are poised to become an integral component of breast cancer surgical care with continuous refinements of technology and accumulating clinical evidence.
