Breast - Wide Excision And Axillary Sample
What is it ?
You have a very small cancer in the breast, or there is something in your breast which may be one. The plan is to take out the diseased part of the breast with a clear rim of healthy breast. At the same time glands will be taken from your armpit (axilla). This is what is meant by a wide excision and axillary sample. Sometimes all the glands are taken from your armpit. This is called an axillary clearance. The two pieces of tissue are looked at under the microscope in the laboratory.
The Operation
You will have a general anaesthetic and be completely asleep. A cut is made in the skin of the breast over the swelling. Sometimes a piece of skin is taken out as well. The swelling or problem area in the breast with a rim of breast tissue is taken out. Often glands can be taken from the armpit through this cut. If the first cut is too far from the armpit, a second cut is needed there. The breast may end up a little smaller. The operation takes about 45 minutes. Usually there is a fine plastic drainage tube in the wound. The drain comes out through the skin usually in the skin fold under the breast. The skin is closed with stitches or clips. The tissue is sent to the laboratory to be looked at under a microscope to find out what is going on. It takes about one week to get an answer. You may well be able to have the operation on the day you come in, and go home the same day. You may need to stay in for a day or two, if the swelling is large, if you are over 50, have other illnesses, or if you cannot manage at home..
. Possible Complications
Complications are rare and seldom serious. Bruising and swelling may be troublesome, particularly if the wound was large. The wound swelling may take 4 to 6 weeks to settle down. Infection is a rare problem and settles down with antibiotics in a week or two.
