[Selective galactophorectomy: technic and indications].
The authors describe the way of operating the selective galactophorectomy and discuss the indications. Each pathological nipple discharge may reveal a carcinoma. The clinical characteristics of the discharge, the results of the cytology, of the mammography and the galactography help to come to a diagnosis. This can only be confirmed after a thorough histological examination of the involved duct. Selective galactophorectomy is a simple operation that hardly leaves any scars. According to the authors, this method has a real advantage to find the diagnosis and to treat pathological nipple discharge.
