  • Mastectomy with immediate or delayed breast reconstruction
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary surgery
  • Minimally invasive breast biopsy (ultrasound-guided core biopsy, vacuum-assisted biopsy)
  • Benign breast tumors: fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor, papilloma
  • High-risk breast lesions and genetic predisposition (BRCA1/BRCA2)
  • Breast pain, nipple discharge, and other benign breast symptoms
