Breast Mass Excision, Bilateral Procedure
Bilateral breast mass excision is a surgical procedure to remove a lump from both breasts. This procedure is recommended for patients who have an abnormal lump that appears underneath the skin of both of their breasts. These lumps can be a result of many different conditions, but it is important to consult your doctor soon after discovery to get a diagnosis. Oftentimes, doctors can identify whether a lump should be a concern through a mammogram. If the surgeon believes the lump could be a cause for concern, they may recommend a bilateral breast mass excision.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Bilateral breast mass excision may become necessary if a growth is suspected to be cancerous, causes discomfort, or exhibits rapid growth. If a lump is found to be cancerous, removal will be considered right away, as an untreated cancerous tumor could spread, leading to a more severe disease. However, removal may also be considered if the tumor is benign, yet still poses a risk to the patient’s overall health.
What To Expect
Patients are typically under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by making an incision over the mass and carefully remove it. If the mass is being used for a biopsy, the surgeon will preserve it to send to the lab. This procedure is repeated on both breasts during a bilateral breast mass excision. When the goal of the procedure is achieved, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be removed from the anesthesia.
After this procedure, it is normal for patients to experience pain around the incision site. This pain can be managed through pain medications provided by the surgeon. Additionally, patients must follow their doctor’s specific instructions regarding wound care, as it is crucial to a successful recovery.
