What is skin-sparing mastectomy ? | Prof. Dr Bülent ÇİTGEZ

Skin conserving is a type of surgery we perform together with plastic surgery. If the volume is small, the tumour is large and there are several foci of breast tumours in the whole breast at the same time, then we perform skin sparing surgery, which is a new technique for these patients, so to speak, by emptying the inside of the breast and saying silicone. Of course, the important thing here is that patients especially ask whether they feel whether the nipple will remain or not. If the tumour is approximately one and a half to two centimetres behind the nipple, the midwife, there is no connection between the nipple and the tumour, we can also perform nipple sparing, skin tone in soaps. So a separate decision can be made according to each patient. There is nothing moto mode here. A special decision is made according to each patient. Sure. After all, there is no disease you know, there is a patient. A different technique for each patient. A new method for each patient. Each patient needs to be evaluated separately.
