Article Synopsis
- Breast-conserving surgery with clear margins is the best treatment for early breast cancer, highlighting the need for accurate identification of normal versus cancerous tissue during operations.
- This study used optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to analyze tissue samples from breast cancer patients, aiming to find distinct spectroscopic features for differentiating between healthy and malignant tissues.
- With an average classification accuracy of 96.9% and high sensitivity and specificity rates, the study suggests that OES could potentially be used in real-time during surgeries to improve tissue margin assessment.
Back to the future: breast surgery with tumescent local anesthesia (TLA)?
Arch Gynecol Obstet

Purpose: Breast surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) offers the possibility to anesthetize large areas with highly diluted local anesthetic.
Methods: In this paper, the implementation, and experiences with TLA in the field of breast surgery are discussed.
Purpose: Clip-marking of axillary lymph nodes with initial biopsy-confirmed metastasis is required for targeted axillary dissection (TAD), which includes sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) and selective localization and removal of the clipped targeted lymph node. There have been several studies which examined the feasibility of TAD in routine clinical use. In this context, the optimal clip visualisation was noted as one of the crucial limiting factors.

Although the majority of patients with PE have no physiologic limitations, it is often associated with psychological problems influencing the patients' quality of life. Surgical treatment options show particular variation with regard to invasiveness and morbidity of the respective procedures.

Materials And Methods: Between December 2013 and November 2014, 27 patients with histologically confirmed FA received one application of HIFU under local anesthesia (NCT02011919). Follow-up visits occurred after 6 and 12 months measuring the FA volume and clinical symptoms.
