WHAT IS MINIMALLY INVASIVE BREAST SURGERY?
MIBS essentially describes surgical techniques performed with the assistance of endoscopic instruments, and more recently, robotic surgical platforms.
Key features of this technique revolve around adequate yet small incision(s) placed in inconspicuous or hidden areas leading to better aesthetic outcomes, while not compromising on safety and allowing for immediate breast reconstruction to be performed through the same incision(s).
The use of endoscopic instruments or robotic surgical platforms helps to improve visualisation through better optics, thereby allowing for oncologic resection to take place through small incisions
Different CATEGORIES OF MIBS TECHNIQUES
ADVANTAGES OF MIBS
- Faster recovery – smaller incisions, less pain With smaller and well-hidden incisions postoperative recovery has been reported to be shorter with improved patient and surgeon satisfaction
- Improved aesthetic outcomes – smaller and hidden incision
- Improved safety and precision of resection due to enhanced visualisation
- No compromise in oncological outcome
- Immediate breast reconstruction
