Ductoscopy technique – using ductoscopy anatomically direct breast conservation surgery
Ductoscopy began as a way to identify the primary lesion in pathologic nipple discharge. The technology evolved to allow fairly easy access and adequate visualization for this task in a number of centers worldwide. The next step would have been to excise or substantially biopsy the lesions through the scope or with scope localization and not require open surgical biopsy. Cytologic samples could...
متن کاملImpact of mammary ductoscopy in breast surgery
MD also helps to spare unnecessary surgery. In patients with nipple discharge, duct excision can be avoided in those with a normal ductoscopy. Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is cosmetically superior to traditional mastectomy but there are concerns about the oncological safety with nipple-areola preservation. MD can be employed to exclude major duct involvement and this may help to select patie...

متن کاملMammary ductoscopy: current status and future prospects.
BACKGROUND Mammary ductoscopy (MD) allows direct visualisation of the mammary ducts using sub-millimetre fiberoptic microendoscopes inserted through the ductal opening onto the nipple surface. The sharp clear magnified images are viewed on a video monitor. Such scopes have working channels that allow irrigation and ductal lavage for cytological analysis. MD can be performed under local anaesthe...
متن کاملBreast ductoscopy and the evolution of the intra-ductal approach to breast cancer.
Interest in breast endoscopy came from Oriental investigators in the early 1990s where bloody nipple discharge is a more common presentation of breast cancer. The early techniques using a single microfiber scope without ductal distension was successful in navigating only the first 1-3 cm of the ducts and fraught with technical problems such as scope breakage and poor image quality. In spite of ...
