\"\"<\/p>\n

A fibroadenoma excision with Vacuum-Assisted Excision Biopsy (VAE) is a minimally invasive technique used to remove a fibroadenoma without surgery. It is done using the same technology as a vacuum-assisted biopsy (VABB) but with a larger sampling volume, allowing the entire lump to be removed.<\/p>\n

\nWhat Is Vacuum-Assisted Excision (VAE)?<\/summary>\n
\n
\n

VAE is a scarless, outpatient procedure where a fibroadenoma is removed using a vacuum device through a tiny 3\u20136 mm skin incision under local anesthesia.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an alternative to traditional surgery (lumpectomy) for benign, biopsy-proven fibroadenomas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nWhen VAE Is Recommended?<\/summary>\n
\n
\n

VAE is used when:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The fibroadenoma is bothersome, painful, or growing.<\/li>\n
  • Size is usually up to 3\u20134 cm.<\/li>\n
  • It has been confirmed benign on a prior core needle biopsy.<\/li>\n
  • The patient prefers no surgical scar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n\"\"\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
    \nHow the Procedure Is Performed ?<\/summary>\n
    \n
    \n1. Imaging guidance<\/b>
    \nUsually done under ultrasound guidance so the fibroadenoma is visible during removal.
    \n2. Local anesthesia<\/b>
    \nThe area is numbed completely\u2014no general anaesthesia is required.
    \n3. Small skin incision<\/b>
    \nA tiny opening (3\u20136 mm) is made; stitches are not required at all.
    \n4. Insertion of the VAE probe<\/b>
    \nThe vacuum-assisted device is inserted into the fibroadenoma.
    \n5. Suction + cutting to remove the entire lesion<\/b>
    \nThe vacuum pulls tissue into the probe while a rotating cutter removes the fibroadenoma in small pieces. The radiologist continues until the entire lump is gone on ultrasound.
    \n6. Confirmation<\/b>
    \nAfter removal, ultrasound is used to ensure no visible residual tissue.
    \n7. Clip placement<\/b>
    \nA marker clip is placed at the excision site (optional but usually done).
    \n8. Compression + dressing<\/b>
    \nPressure is applied to prevent bleeding, then a small bandage is placed.\n<\/div>\n
    \n\"\"\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
    \nWhat are the benefits of VAE ?<\/summary>\n
    \n
    \n
      \n
    • Minimally invasive<\/li>\n
    • No surgical scar (just a tiny puncture)<\/li>\n
    • Local anesthesia only<\/li>\n
    • Short procedure (20\u201340 minutes)<\/li>\n
    • Quick recovery<\/li>\n
    • Minimal distortion of the breast<\/li>\n
    • Removes entire fibroadenoma without sutures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      \n\"\"\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
      \nHow much is the recovery time after VABB excision?<\/summary>\n
      \n
      \n

      Most people return to normal activities within 24\u201348 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n\"\"\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
      \nWhat are the complications or side effects of Vaccum Assisted excison?<\/summary>\n
      \n
      \n
        \n
      • Bruising (1\u20132 weeks)<\/li>\n
      • Mild soreness<\/li>\n
      • Small lump of bruised tissue that settles with time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Wear a supportive bra and avoid heavy exercise for 2\u20135 days.<\/p>\n

        Possible Risks (Rare)<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Bruising or hematoma<\/li>\n
        • Minor bleeding<\/li>\n
        • Infection (rare)<\/li>\n
        • Incomplete removal (occasionally a small remnant)<\/li>\n
        • Temporary breast shape change due to swelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Overall, VAE is considered very safe.<\/p>\n

          Effectiveness of Fibroadenoma excision with VABB:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Success rates for complete removal: 90\u201398%<\/li>\n
          • Recurrence: very rare<\/li>\n
          • Excellent cosmetic results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
