What should I pay attention to after breast puncture?

In our daily life, sometimes we do need to go to the hospital for a physical examination, because this way we can know the current condition of our body and whether it means that we are about to get sick or are already sick. If you find that you have this tendency, you must seek timely treatment. In clinical practice, there is a special examination for the breast, namely breast puncture. So, what are the precautions after breast puncture?

Normal value

The test results were negative.

Clinical significance

Abnormal result: The test result is positive, confirming the presence of breast cancer cells. People who need to be checked: middle-aged and elderly women, and people with abnormal breast pain.

Precautions

Unsuitable group: breastfeeding women. Taboos before examination: No special taboos.

Requirements for inspection:

(l)

If the tumor is small (less than 2.5 cm) and has no adhesion to surrounding tissues, it should be removed as completely as possible, fixed with 10% formalin, and immediately sent to the pathology department for biopsy.

(2)

If the tumor is adhered to the skin, the skin should be excised in a diamond shape during the biopsy to facilitate postoperative suture.

(3)

If the tumor is large and adhered to the surrounding area, it is difficult to completely remove it. If it is suspected to be malignant, when removing the specimen, try to remove 2-3 pieces of tissue from the obvious lesion and different parts of the body for pathological sections.

(4)

If the lump is far away from the nipple, when taking the biopsy specimen, the skin should be radially incised with the nipple as the center. This can reduce the number of milk supply loops cut off without affecting the subsequent radical resection surgery.

(5)

If the lump is close to the nipple, make a circular incision along the junction of the areola and breast skin as much as possible so that the mark will not be obvious.

(6)

When removing suspicious breast tissue, it is necessary to reach a sufficient depth to avoid obtaining only necrotic tissue on the surface of the tumor or only a few cells, which would make it difficult to make a pathological histological diagnosis.

Inspection process

Generally, one day before the operation, a liver tissue puncture needle or a general venous puncture needle is used to puncture the breast lump for biopsy. The method is simple and can save the operation time of intraoperative biopsy.
