Why is the ache after breast cancer operation

First, the choice of surgical methods for breast cancer varies in different regions due to different medical conditions. In developed cities and regions with good medical conditions, extended radical mastectomy has been completely abandoned due to timely cooperation with postoperative comprehensive treatment, and classic radical mastectomy is rarely used. Simple mastectomy plus axillary lymph node dissection is the most commonly used surgical method, and the Patey operation of preserving pectoralis major muscle and removing pectoralis minor muscle is also more commonly used.

Second, the evolution of breast cancer surgery originated from the change and renewal of treatment concept. With the development of basic theory research, people have a deeper understanding of the biological characteristics of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a systemic disease, replacing the concept that breast cancer is a local disease. The emergence of a large number of representative clinical randomized trial results, the application of mammography and breast "B" ultrasound, the publicity and popularization of tumor knowledge, the improvement and maturity of radiotherapy equipment and technology.

Third: postoperative breast radiotherapy is needed to remove the residual tumor inside and outside the breast and ensure the appearance of the breast. In order to cooperate with the timely implementation of comprehensive treatment, we should use Stewart's transverse prism incision to reduce tension, pay attention to the protection of pectoralis major nerve during operation to avoid injury, and the free flap should be moderate. To avoid the wound necrosis caused by electric knife burn skin, complete hemostasis, smooth drainage, reasonable bandage wound, prevent subcutaneous effusion and secondary infection.
