Breast surgery to remove breast findings

If a benign tumor (e.g. a fibroadenoma- benign tumor of the breast) is diagnosed, there is the possibility to remove it minimally invasive by means of vacuum biopsies. Up to a size of 25 mm, these nodes can be removed under ultrasound control under local anesthesia using a biopsy needle.

• for findings up to 25 mm, which are not too close to the skin, can be removed minimally invasively by means of a vacuum biopsy (link guide). This can be done in the practice under ultrasound guidance and local anesthesia.
