Endoscopic Breast Surgery
Endoscopic Breast Surgery in Jabalpur
Endoscopic oncoplastic breast surgery is a minimally invasive technique that aims to remove breast cancer safely while restoring the breast’s appearance. This approach results in less noticeable scars, great cosmetic results, and high patient satisfaction. Recent studies have also reported that this method is safe in the long run.
The surgery involves using two different planes – one under the skin and the other under the breast. Specialised tools like endoscopic retractors, light-guided breast retractors, wound protectors, and bipolar scissors are used. The endoscopic retractors provide magnified views and allow for extensive dissection at the back of the breast.
Tunnelling and hydrodissection make the technique easier under the skin. After removing the tumour, oncoplastic reconstruction techniques can be applied.
The complication rates are similar to open breast surgery. Good results in terms of local recurrence, distant spread, and overall survival have been reported. However, longer follow-up is needed to fully assess the cancer control and safety of this endoscopic approach.
In summary, endoscopic oncoplastic breast surgery offers a minimally invasive option that can safely remove cancer while providing excellent cosmetic results and high patient satisfaction.

What is the recovery period after endoscopic breast surgery?
The recovery period after endoscopic breast surgery varies depending on the specific procedure:
- For endoscopic breast augmentation, patients can typically resume light activities within a few days and most normal activities within 2-4 weeks. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2-4 weeks and sexual activities for the first 6 weeks.
- After endoscopic breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), most people can resume day-to-day activities within 5-10 days. The recovery time is much faster when compared to open surgery.
- Following endoscopic mastectomy, it may take 3-4 weeks for a person to feel back to their normal self. The recovery time is very similar to open mastectomy.
- For endoscopic breast reconstruction, the recovery time can take up to 6-8 weeks, which is the longest among the different endoscopic breast procedures.
