BREAST INTERVENTIONS

Interventional breast procedures are nearly painless. Many women are apprehensive regarding the pain from sampling a suspicious breast lesion. Usg guided breast biopsies are performed with high priority to patient comfort, these are outpatient procedures with the patient ready to leave the hospital within an hour. Other breast intervention procedures like drainage of breast abscess, preoperative hookwire localisation or pretreatment marker clip placements are performed routinely.
