Surgical Breast Biopsy - Your Surgery and Recovery at Home (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
A surgical breast biopsy is done in the Operating Room. You are given either a general anesthetic (medicine that puts you in a very deep sleep) or a sedative. The surgeon injects numbing medicine to ‘freeze’ the breast. The surgeon then makes a small cut (incision) in the breast and locates the mass. The tissue is removed and sent to the hospital laboratory to examine for abnormalities. Replaces catalogue #265493 (English) Black & White
