What is Breast Surgery?

Breast surgery includes all surgical procedures and surgical interventions to diagnose, treat, and remove benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the breast, including:

  • Axillary lymph node dissection
  • Breast conserving techniques
  • Complete or partial Mastectomy
  • Excisional breast biopsy
  • Fine needle aspiration
  • Lumpectomy
  • Lymph node surgery
  • Mastectomy
  • Nipple sparing mastectomy
  • Oncoplastic Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Quadrantectomy
  • Radical mastectomy
  • Sentinal lymph node biopsy
  • Sentinel lymph node mapping
  • Simple mastectomy
  • Stereotactic and ultrasound core-needle biopsy
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy
  • Wire free breast surgery with Savi Scout or HydroMark systems

If you have surgery for cancer of the breast, the procedure can be used to remove all cancer. To stage the tumor, our breast surgeons perform breast surgical procedures (sentinel lymph node biopsy) to determine whether cancer has spread (or metastasized) to the lymph nodes under the arm(s).

Breast surgery also can be used to restore the shape and size of the breast at the time of or after a mastectomy and address some symptoms of advanced cancer.
