Basic principles of surgical treatment of malignant tumors
The main difference between the surgical treatment of malignant tumors and the removal of benign tumors lies in the observance of four basic principles:
Ablastics - measures aimed at preventing the spread of tumor cells from the primary focus over the surgical field. In fact, it is the prevention of the occurrence of local (local) relapses. First of all, this is achieved through a careful attitude to the removed neoplasm.
Antiblastics is the removal or destruction of individual malignant cells that have already detached or, with a high probability, could detach from the primary tumor. This factor makes the greatest contribution to the concept of radical operation. The more surrounding healthy tissue around the tumor is removed, the more detached cells are removed, the more radical the operation is performed and the lower the risk of recurrence.
The next two surgical principles in oncology - zoning and sheathing - reflect the anatomical features of operations and also affect their radicality.
Thanks to the high qualification of oncological surgeons, who are guided by Russian oncological standards and international recommendations, the volume of surgical interventions at the K + 31 oncology clinic corresponds to the optimal balance between the radicalism of the operation and the desire for maximum preservation of healthy tissues, which ensures the most effective result with minimal consequences .
Breast Surgery - Frequently Asked Questions
What guarantees can a doctor give during breast surgery
The human body during surgery can behave completely unpredictably. Unfortunately, to date, it, as well as various factors affecting it, have not been fully studied. Therefore, the doctor cannot guarantee 100% success of the operation under any circumstances.
Despite all the possible risks, the surgeon guarantees:
- using the best and most preferred techniques;
- use of all available technical means;
- reducing possible complications to a minimum;
- detailed informing the patient about the upcoming operation;
- Performing all manipulations only with the voluntary consent of the patient.
Recommendations after breast surgery
The postoperative period is as important for a complete recovery as a successful operation. The patient must responsibly follow all the recommendations for the restoration of the body, which will be given to him by the attending physician. They depend on the type of operation and other important factors.
Among the general recommendations after the operation are:
- restriction of physical activity (do not carry weights, stop playing sports for a while).
- diet (avoid alcohol, fatty and spicy foods. The diet should be balanced).
- wound care (do not damage them, treat them with special wound healing agents).
- refusal to visit the pool or sauna until the stitches are removed.
The main goal of the stage is to recover as quickly as possible after the surgery. The patient should be attentive to his health and, if alarming signs appear, immediately seek advice from the attending physician. These may include fever, shortness of breath, unusual discharge from the wound, increased pain.
