Breast surgeons are at the forefront of the management and treatment of breast diseases. They also oversee routine screening for early detection of breast cancer. The clinic is operated by exceptional surgeons specializing in breast cancer from the Department of Surgery B and Surgery C at Sheba.
The clinic offers a range of services including receiving new patients for an assessment and evaluation of new findings and the delivery of the oncological diagnosis, guidance before breast surgery, referrals for oncology treatment, adjustment of prostheses following surgery, coordination of plastic surgeries, removal of sutures, drains and dressings. When required, the surgeons may refer patients to undergo various types of breast surgeries within the department. These procedures include breast-conserving mastectomy, complete mastectomy with or without reconstruction, resection of the sentinel gland, and extensive axillary gland resection.
Breast cancer treatment requires full cooperation between the various divisions including surgery, oncology, imaging, pathology and plastic surgery. The Merav Center brings together all the experts in the field under one roof, enabling surgeons to provide the best possible treatment.
