In this episode, we explore subacute and chronic breast inflammations, covering Tuberculosis, Duct ectasia, Actinomycosis, and Mondor’s disease. Learn about their clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based management strategies.

In this episode , we explore Subacute and Chronic Inflammations of the Breast, focusing on Non-Lactational Mastitis (Periductal Mastitis & Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis). Learn about etiology, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based management from Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery, the gold-standard surgical reference. Essential listening for surgeons and trainees!

Ep.12 Acute Inflammation of the Breast: Lactational Mastitis & Abscess, explores the pathophysiology, clinical features, and evidence-based management of mastitis and breast abscesses, with insights from Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery. Learn about bacterial vs. non-bacterial causes, ultrasound findings, and modern drainage techniques to optimize patient outcomes.

In this episode, we discuss key breast injuries, including hematoma and traumatic fat necrosis—conditions that can mimic malignancy. Learn about clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and why biopsy is often essential for accurate diagnosis, especially in cases with unclear trauma history.

In Episode 10 of our General Surgery podcast, we explore Congenital Abnormalities of the Breast, covering key conditions such as Amazia (congenital absence of the breast), Polymazia (accessory breast tissue), infantile mastitis, and macromastia. Drawing from Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery, we discuss clinical presentations, associated syndromes, and evidence-based management strategies, including surgical reconstruction techniques. A must-listen for medical students, surgical residents, and practicing surgeons seeking a concise yet comprehensive review of these rare but clinically significant disorders.

This episode delves into Nipple Discharge, distinguishing benign (ANDI-related) from pathological causes using the "four S" criteria. We detail diagnostic approaches (ultrasonography, ductoscopy) and age-specific management, from reassurance to microdochectomy or Hadfield’s procedure, ensuring optimal care while excluding malignancy.

This episode covers Disorders of the Nipple, including congenital and acquired conditions like inversion, retraction, infections, and Paget’s disease. We highlight pathophysiology, clinical clues (e.g., fish-mouth retraction in periductal mastitis vs. circumferential retraction in carcinoma), and surgical/non-surgical treatments—emphasizing key takeaways from Bailey & Love. Ideal for trainees and surgeons preparing for exams or refining clinical decision-making.

This episode provides a comprehensive review of Fibroadenoma and Phyllodes Tumour, covering their clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management strategies. Learn when to observe versus excise fibroadenomas and the critical surgical principles for phyllodes tumours to minimize recurrence. Essential listening for surgeons and trainees managing breast lumps!

Join us in Episode 6 as we explore Breast Cysts and Galactoceles—covering their pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and practical management. Learn when to observe, aspirate, or biopsy, and gain clarity on counseling patients, especially lactating mothers with galactoceles. Essential listening for surgeons at all training levels!

Join us in Episode 05 as we break down the differential diagnosis of Discrete Breast Lumps, covering benign (fibroadenoma, abscess) and malignant (carcinoma, phyllodes) causes. Key insights on evanescent lumps and ruptured cysts help refine diagnostic skills for surgeons at all levels.
