Umnagumo Mammotome

It is often performed through a small incision of only a few millimeters, so suturing is rarely required and the scar burden tends to be small. The location and size of the incision vary with the position and size of the lesion, and recovery varies by individual.

Because excision is carried out under real-time ultrasound guidance, excising several masses through a single insertion can be considered. Whether this is actually possible is judged after examination, depending on the position, size, and number of the lesions.

The excised tissue can be examined by biopsy where needed. Any subsequent management based on the biopsy result is advised through medical consultation.

It is usually performed under local anesthesia, so same-day return to daily life is possible in many cases. Bruising and swelling generally subside over time, though this varies by individual depending on the size and number of lesions.

The excised lesion itself is removed, but by the nature of breast tissue a new mass can arise in a different area, so regular follow-up observation is recommended. Recurrence and follow-up management are advised through medical consultation.

Mammotome is a method for excising benign masses and obtaining tissue for diagnostic purposes; it does not replace the treatment of malignant disease. If malignancy is suspected, additional testing and appropriate medical care are required.

Whether insurance (such as indemnity insurance) applies can vary with the nature of the lesion, the diagnosis, and the terms of your policy, so it cannot be stated uniformly. The relevant documents and whether coverage may apply are reviewed together during consultation.
