Impact of mammary ductoscopy in breast surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
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 patients for NSM. We are currently studying the role of MD in identifying major duct involvement in potential patients undergoing NSM.

Does mammary ductoscopy have a role in clinical practice?
BACKGROUND Mammary ductoscopy (MD) is a newly developed endoscopic technique that allows direct visualisation of the mammary ductal epithelium using sub-millimetre fiberoptic microendoscopes inserted through the ductal opening onto the nipple surface. These scopes also provide working channels for insufflation, irrigation, ductal lavage, and possible therapeutic intervention. MD can be performe...

BACKGROUND Endoscopy of the female breast, known as ductoscopy, is increasingly gaining acceptance as a diagnostic procedure worldwide. Recent technical development of ductoscopes and micro-instruments is shifting research interest from diagnostic to interventional ductoscopy. We describe novel technical aspects and the resulting possible future perspective of ductoscopy. METHODS This study c...
متن کاملThe significance of ductoscopy of mammary ducts in the diagnostics of breast neoplasms
INTRODUCTION Ductoscopy is a low invasive method enabling the diagnostics of intraductal proliferative lesions in breasts. Fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) is important in the diagnosis of patients with pathological nipple discharge. There are attempts to apply FDS in patients with breast cancer without the presence of nipple discharge. AIM To assess fiberoptic ductoscopy in the diagnostics of bre...
