UDINE. At the Obstetric-Gynecological clinic of the Santa Maria della hospital
Misericordia di Udine was carried out the first intervention in our region with
minimally invasive technique for women with a Brca gene mutation or with a medical history
positive for breast cancer.
For these patients, the removal of the ovaries, especially after having completed their maternity course, is an option of surgical prophylaxis for the prevention of ovarian cancer, as required by the international guidelines and by the diagnostic-therapeutic paths of the university health authority. Central Friuli.
They are healthy women who have had cases of ovarian cancer or breast cancer
in the family and that after taking the test and receiving confirmation of the
mutation of the gene decide to undergo the removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes for
prevent the onset of ovarian cancer. This is a preventive intervention.
Today it is possible to propose minimally invasive, even conservative surgery
scarless, therefore without scars, with a percutaneous approach (MiniLap®), with
very short recovery times and the ability to resume your business in time
very fast.
The evolution of the MiniLap® percutaneous surgical system, i.e. with
skin incision of only 2.4 mm, allows percutaneous insertion without the
need for a trocar, causing less trauma and an ideal cosmetic result.
Therefore, innovative surgical techniques, with ever more sophisticated technology than
it makes the choice less difficult since you do not have to face an intervention
traditional with cut on the abdomen, post-operative pain and scar that
it could be a reason to renounce an act that represents a great weapon
of cancer prevention that we have available today.
