What is Surgical Breast Biopsy?
Surgical Breast Biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to obtain breast tissue samples for further examination.

Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to perform surgical breast biopsy with precision and minimal discomfort for our patients.
