[Mastoscopic extirpation of benign breast masses by small and concealing incision].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the feasibility and effect of the mastoscopic extirpation of benign breast masses by small and concealing incision.


METHODS
72 benign breast masses of 64 patients were mastoscopically extirpated. Transaxillary and transareolar small incisions were selected under local and vein analgesia anaesthesia.


RESULTS
Most of patients were operated in clinic, only 28 patients in hospital. The average operation time was 46.1 minutes. The sensation and erection of breast nipples were normal in all patients. 2 patients with the more obvious complications (one with skin burned by electric scalpel, another with wide subcutaneous ecchymosis) complained this kind of operation, other patients were greatly satisfied with the cosmetic outcome of the operation.


CONCLUSIONS
The mastoscopic extirpation of benign breast masses by small and concealing incision can be completed in most of the patients under local anesthesia. The incision is small and concealing, which raises the quality of life of the patients. This operation procedure meets the needs of wide women on the treatment of breast disease to a great extent and also alters the routine conception of the excision of benign breast mass.
