Minimally invasive breast surgery refers to surgical procedures that are designed to minimize the size and number of incisions made during the operation. The goal is to reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues, speed up recovery, and minimize scarring. There are several minimally invasive techniques used in breast surgery, and they may be employed for various purposes, including breast biopsy, lumpectomy, and lymph node dissection.

It’s important to note that the suitability of minimally invasive techniques depends on factors such as the size and location of the tumor, as well as the individual patient’s health and circumstances. The choice of surgical approach is typically made by the surgeon based on a thorough evaluation of the specific case.
