Lumpectomy in Bhakkar

What it is

Lumpectomy is a breast-conserving operation that removes a tumour or lump and a small margin of normal tissue around it. Most of the breast stays in place, which keeps its natural look as far as possible.

How the procedure works

Dr. Shehryar Niazi makes a small cut over the lump and removes it with a thin border of healthy tissue, then sends the sample to the lab to check the edges. It is an open procedure done under general or local anaesthesia, and the wound is closed with fine stitches.

Benefits

Keeps most of the natural breast
Small scar and short hospital stay
Quick return to daily routine

Who it is for

Lumpectomy suits women with an early or small breast tumour where the lump can be removed without taking the whole breast. Your surgeon confirms suitability with a physical exam, imaging, and biopsy results.

Recovery

Most patients go home the same day or after a short stay and manage discomfort with simple pain relief. Radiation therapy often follows to lower the chance of the cancer coming back, and normal activity returns within a couple of weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common surgery for breast cancer?

Lumpectomy and mastectomy are the two main operations for breast cancer, and lumpectomy is one of the most common because it saves most of the breast. Your surgeon recommends the right option based on the size and stage of the tumour.

Is breast cancer removal a major surgery?

A lumpectomy is a smaller operation than a full mastectomy and many patients go home the same day. A mastectomy is larger and may need a longer stay, so the scale depends on how much tissue has to be removed.

What happens after breast cancer is removed?

The removed tissue goes to the lab to check the margins and confirm the type of cancer. Many patients then have radiation therapy, and some need medicines or further treatment based on those lab results.
