Specialist in Breast Cancer Surgery
Mr Jamie Vatish is a highly experienced Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, dedicated to providing care for patients in Birmingham. Oncoplastic surgery is a specialised approach that combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques. This allows for the removal of cancerous tissue while reshaping and reconstructing the breast to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome. Mr Vatish’s expertise encompasses a wide range of breast cancer surgeries, from lumpectomies to mastectomies, with a focus on achieving optimal oncological and cosmetic outcomes. His goal is to support patients through every step of their surgical journey, ensuring they feel informed and empowered.
Surgical Procedures Offered
Mr. Vatish offers a range of surgical procedures tailored to individual patient needs:
- Lumpectomy: This involves the removal of the tumour and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue. It is often suitable for early-stage breast cancer.
- Mastectomy: This involves the removal of the entire breast. It may be necessary for larger tumours or when breast-conserving surgery is not an option.
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: This helps determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm.
- Axillary Lymph Node Dissection: If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, this procedure removes them.
- Oncoplastic Breast Reconstruction: This combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques to reconstruct the breast. It can be done at the same time as the initial cancer surgery or as a delayed procedure.
Why Patients Seek Breast Cancer Surgery
Patients seek breast cancer surgery for several reasons:
- Tumour Removal: Surgery is often the primary treatment to remove cancerous tumours.
- Preventative Measures: In cases of high-risk patients, preventative mastectomies can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.
- Improved Survival Rates: Surgical intervention, when combined with other treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, can improve survival rates.
- Restoration of Confidence: Oncoplastic reconstruction helps restore a sense of normalcy and confidence after breast cancer surgery.
