Recently, Yuan Chao, director of the Breast Department of Dezhou Second People's Hospital, successfully used endoscopic assisted technology to relieve the pain of breast cancer patient Ms. Zhang in a timely manner. With only a small incision hidden under the armpit, this technology not only cures breast cancer, but also preserves the integrity of the patient's breast, achieving both health and beauty.
Ms. Zhang is 42 years old and was diagnosed with intermediate-high grade ductal carcinoma in situ. In the past, when women were diagnosed with breast cancer, they often lost their breasts to save their lives. However, such a lack brings not only appearance regret, but also a psychological and spiritual double blow. According to Ms. Zhang’s condition and considering that she was still young, Yuan Chao promptly contacted the hospital’s multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT) tumor service and invited experts from multiple disciplines such as medical oncology, medical imaging, pathology, and ultrasonic medicine to evaluate Ms. Zhang. Analyze and discuss the condition. After expert consultation and on the premise of ensuring the safety of treatment, Yuan Chao formulated a left mastectomy + sentinel lymph node biopsy + breast prosthesis implantation and reconstruction surgical plan for Ms. Zhang. Such a treatment plan not only takes into account the science and standardization of tumor treatment, but also preserves the patient's intact body shape to the greatest extent, which is very consistent with Ms. Zhang's personal wishes. After less than 3 hours of surgery, Ms. Zhang’s breast tumor was successfully removed, but there was no incision on her breast and the only small incision was hidden under her armpit. After the operation, Ms. Zhang looked at her still intact appearance and smiled happily. Her worries were completely relieved. After she was discharged from the hospital, she even sent a banner to Yuan Chao.
Yuan Chao introduced that breast cancer ranks first among the incidence rates of malignant tumors in Chinese women, and surgery is the main treatment method. When breast-conserving treatment is not possible, traditional breast cancer surgery often involves breast reconstruction or repair, but this inevitably leaves large scars on the breast surface, which has become a major shortcoming for female patients who love beauty. Compared with traditional surgery, laparoscopic-assisted technology has the advantages of small surgical incisions, less bleeding, no traces, more natural breast appearance, shorter operation time, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery. Because the lacuna is fully mobilized during the operation, the postoperative cosmetic effect is the same as that of patch reconstruction, allowing beauty lovers to achieve both health and beauty.
It is reported that as one of the first batch of national standardized diagnosis and treatment bases for breast cancer, the Breast Center of Dezhou Second People's Hospital has sent team members to many top hospitals in the country to study and train, using endoscopic technology to skillfully carry out laparoscopic pre-pectoral prosthesis plus "Huaxi Various minimally invasive surgeries for benign and malignant tumors such as "parachute patch method" surgery have small breast wounds, fast recovery, mature technology, obvious clinical diagnosis and treatment effects, and good patient experience. In the next step, all the medical staff of the Breast Center will continue to uphold the service spirit of "doctors are kind and strive for excellence", keep up with the international academic frontier, continue to strengthen learning and external exchanges, and provide patients with standardized, individualized, minimally invasive, and humanized treatments. Diagnosis and treatment services, we strive to create a technical highland for breast disease diagnosis and treatment in northwest Shandong and southeast Hebei.
