Infundibulectomy

Infundibelcectomy

Infundibloctomy (from Latin influndo "to pour in", later infundibulālus - referring to the coracoid protrusion or funnel of the brain and ectoma "cutting out", "removing") is a surgical operation on the brain aimed at removing arteriovenous malformations. A modification of Winnair's technique was proposed by Diamond and Dubner in the mid-20th century. This is an option for removing arteriovenous malformation, in which

Infundibulectomy, or yatrovka, is a minimally invasive surgical operation, which consists of removing a piece of tissue located near the mammary glands that disrupts the shape of the breast, and also includes the removal of fatty tissue located below the lower pole of the gland. This operation allows you to give shape and volume to the nipple and reduce the size of the areola.

Infundibulectomy is usually performed laparoscopically, but can also be performed through an open approach. This can be especially useful if you need to remove focal neoplasia (cancer), benign growth or scars. This operation involves the use of an appropriate laparoscope to provide effective access for the surgeon. As a replacement for this method, a robot-assisted system is used. With its help, the patient can undergo surgery using one of two infiltration methods - paratumum (which allows the surgeon to insert a laparoscope into the formed pocket of the sternum, formed after resection of the mammary gland) or retromammary (insert the laparoscope from the back, opposite the mammary glands). This reduces the duration of surgery, the length of hospital stay and the likelihood of complications.
