General surgeons' approaches to breast masses in their daily practices and their perspectives for issues on breast diseases and breast surgery are investigated through a survey.
Answers of 524 general surgeons for the survey "Approach to breast diseases and breast surgery" between November 2012 and February 2013 were assessed. Demographic features, approaches to the breast masses, and answers for the clinical scenerios of surgeons were questioned. Surgeons were asked about management of breast cancer and the future role of surgeons for oncoplastic breast surgery and breast diseases.
Participants were representing 14.6% of all general surgeons in Turkey. The survey revealed that breast diseases are the most common cause for admission in general surgery outpatient clinics. Needle biopsies were employed by 241 (60%) respondents. Three hundred and seventy-one (71%) participants indicated that breast cancer management could be accurately conducted by the general surgeons. Two hundred and seventy-three (52%) respondents think that oncoplastic breast surgery should be performed by a general surgeon and 241 (41%) respondents predict that the role of general surgeons for breast diseases and breast surgery will decrease in the future.
Basic approaches towards breast masses need to be improved in our country despite the highest frequency of breast diseases in outpatient admissions. The views and opinions of surgeons on breast diseases and the course of breast surgery in different regions and different communities need to be defined and clarified.
通过一项调查研究普通外科医生在日常实践中对乳腺肿块的处理方法以及他们对乳腺疾病和乳腺手术相关问题的看法。
对2012年11月至2013年2月期间524名普通外科医生对“乳腺疾病及乳腺手术处理方法”调查的回答进行评估。询问了人口统计学特征、对乳腺肿块的处理方法以及外科医生对临床场景的回答。还询问了外科医生关于乳腺癌的管理以及外科医生在肿瘤整形乳腺手术和乳腺疾病方面的未来作用。
参与者占土耳其所有普通外科医生的14.6%。调查显示，乳腺疾病是普通外科门诊最常见的入院原因。241名（60%）受访者采用了针吸活检。371名（71%）参与者表示普通外科医生能够准确地进行乳腺癌管理。273名（52%）受访者认为肿瘤整形乳腺手术应由普通外科医生进行，241名（41%）受访者预测普通外科医生在乳腺疾病和乳腺手术方面的作用在未来将会降低。
尽管乳腺疾病在门诊入院中最为常见，但我国对乳腺肿块的基本处理方法仍需改进。需要明确和阐明不同地区和不同群体的外科医生对乳腺疾病和乳腺手术进程的观点和意见。
