Transaxillary approach with use of traction suture for excision of breast fibroadenoma: A new technique and its results

摘要

Avoiding a scar on the breast is an inherent feminine desire. We devised a new approach for breast fibroadenoma excision:Transaxillary approach with use of traction suture (TATS), in 50 patients with breast fibroadenoma. The swelling was present in the outer breast. The wound healed without noticeable scarring and the original shape of the breast was preserved. All the patients expressed their great satisfaction with the procedure.
