Duct and Nipple Surgery (Microdochectomy and Central Duct Excision)

Description
General anesthesia is often used, but local anesthesia with IV sedation is sometimes
preferred. The aims are to diagnose or exclude malignancy or control discharge. Microdochectomy is used for a discharging duct that can be identifi
ed, cannulated, and excised. If available, ductoscopy can be used to visualize the
lumen of the duct.
