The MIB Center philosophy
Minimally invasive surgery, an undeniable achievement in the medical field, is gradually becoming a standard practice for the most skilled surgeons. Using small incisions and specialized instruments like laparoscopes and endoscopes, surgeons perform highly precise procedures without the bodily trauma associated with traditional surgery. These techniques also speed up postoperative recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Moreover, less visible scars and shorter hospital stays contribute to the growing interest and commitment to minimally invasive surgery.
Minimally invasive breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures among women. Technological advances and ongoing scientific research now allow the integration of minimally invasive surgery in both reconstructive and cosmetic breast operations.
The MIA (Minimally Invasive Augmentation) technique allows breast augmentation under local anesthesia in just fifteen minutes. Tiny incisions are made under the arm, through which specially designed, highly flexible breast implants are inserted. Rapid recovery and same-day discharge make the MIA technique a favored choice among many patients.
Using insertion pockets in breast augmentations is a surgical innovation that enhances patient safety, aesthetics, and comfort. This technique reduces infection risks by avoiding direct contact between the implant and skin, allows for smaller incisions, and provides less visible scars. It also facilitates implant handling, reducing the risk of capsular contracture.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Breast cancer surgery under local anesthesia offers a less invasive and more comfortable alternative for patients. Additionally, HD cameras enable surgeons to better explore internal structures and operate with great precision, facilitating tumor detection and removal.
Fluorescence detection of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer improves the safety and precision of surgeries. It avoids radiation exposure and allows surgeons to visualize and locate the sentinel node during the operation.
Mastectomies, immediate breast reconstructions with implants, and lumpectomies under local anesthesia allow patients to recover more easily and return home faster. They also avoid potential complications associated with general anesthesia. Additionally, being awake during the operation provides reassurance to patients..
Prophylactic surgery
Prophylactic surgery is performed to reduce the risk of developing certain diseases, particularly hereditary cancers. This approach is often recommended for individuals with specific genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, associated with a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. By preemptively removing at-risk tissues or organs, prophylactic surgery aims to prevent the onset of the disease.
Techniques
The use of endoscopic and robotic surgery has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery by reducing the need for extensive tissue removal.
-
End of extensive removal
The reduction in the indications for extensive tissue removal in breast cancer marks a major advancement, driven by less invasive detection methods like sentinel lymph node biopsy. This approach reduces complications such as lymphedema and chronic pain, without impacting patient outcomes or recurrence rates.
-
Robotic surgery
Robotic surgery applied to minimally invasive breast surgery, using systems like the Da Vinci robot, ensures exceptional precision and allows for less invasive procedures with extremely small incisions, resulting in a hidden scar under the arm, away from the breast.
-
Endoscopic surgery
In endoscopic breast surgeries an endoscope, a medical optical device, is used during operations. This technique provides better visualization of internal structures, facilitating precise excisions while preserving healthy tissue. Breast removal is performed with a discreet scar hidden in the armpit.
