Ultrasound evaluates the structure of the breast tissue and the location of the tumor to help the surgeon create a personalized surgical plan for each patient. In breast cancer patients who respond well to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumors may be difficult to identify preoperatively. The study found that ultrasound-guided breast surgery significantly increased the likelihood of tumor-free margins, thereby reducing the risk of reoperation. The study also recommended that “ultrasound equipment should be used in every breast surgery operating room.”

With ultrasound technology, doctors can guide the needle more accurately for seroma aspiration and clearly visualize the progress. This precise operation not only improves treatment outcomes but also reduces the chances of seroma recurrence.

The application of intraoperative ultrasound not only helps to locate non-palpable lesions but also reduces the volume of healthy tissue excised during breast cancer surgery. By accurately visualizing marker clips and tumor margins in real-time, surgeons can ensure that the excision is as precise as possible, minimizing the risk of positive margins and improving patient outcomes. In this instructional video, Dr. Ahmed shows how high-resolution ultrasound can help reduce unnecessary tissue excision, leading to better cosmetic results.

The use of ultrasound in postoperative monitoring has become essential for early detection of complications such as hematomas or infections. In this Clarius Classroom video, Dr. Ahmed demonstrates how high-resolution ultrasound is used in the post-surgical setting to monitor patients for potential complications. By providing real-time imaging, ultrasound helps identify issues like hematomas or infections at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention and improving patient outcomes. This method has transformed postoperative care by offering precise, non-invasive assessments and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
