Single-duct microdochectomy effectively diagnoses and treats benign intraductal papillomata causing nipple discharge. This minimally invasive surgical technique offers excellent diagnostic, therapeutic, and cosmetic outcomes for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Bloody or serosanguinous nipple discharge often originates from a single duct.
  • Intraductal papillomata are the most common cause of such discharge.
  • Effective management requires a diagnostic, therapeutic, and cosmetically acceptable approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a single-duct microdochectomy technique for managing single-duct nipple discharge.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic, and cosmetic results of this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A single-duct microdochectomy procedure was performed on 40 consecutive patients.
  • The technique integrates principles of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
  • Key elements include minimal tissue trauma, anatomical plane utilization, bloodless-field surgery, and microdissection.

Main Results:

  • The described microdochectomy technique yielded good diagnostic results.
  • The procedure provided adequate therapeutic relief for patients.
  • Cosmetic outcomes were also reported as good.

Conclusions:

  • Single-duct microdochectomy is a viable and effective surgical option for patients with single-duct nipple discharge.
  • The technique offers a comprehensive solution addressing diagnostic, therapeutic, and aesthetic concerns.
  • This approach demonstrates successful application in a consecutive patient series.
