Single-port laparoscopic-assisted excision of juvenile giant breast lumps: case reports and literature review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Single-port laparoscopic-assisted breast lump excision represents an advanced surgical technique that combines minimally invasive technology with aesthetic considerations. The primary benefit of this procedure is the utilization of a single, inconspicuous incision in the axillary region. For adolescents, the aesthetic integrity of the breast and its implications for mental health are critical factors to consider. Through extensive research and clinical practice, we propose a novel, safe, and effective surgical method for the excision of large breast masses, aiming to achieve complete removal of the lesion while ensuring that no visible scars remain on the breast surface. This report presents two case studies involving adolescent patients with significant breast masses. Both individuals underwent single-port laparoscopic-assisted excision of the breast lumps under general anesthesia. Both patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with the surgical outcomes, as the procedure resulted in scarless breasts, with incisions discreetly concealed in the axillary region.
