Mirigyeltávolítás

Mirigyeltávolítás, often translated as "gland removal" or "lymph node dissection," refers to the surgical removal of one or more glands or lymph nodes from the body. This procedure is typically performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Diagnostically, mirigyeltávolítás may be conducted to determine the nature of an enlarged gland or lymph node. Biopsy, a common form of mirigyeltávolítás, involves removing a small portion or the entire gland for microscopic examination to detect the presence of cancerous cells, infections, or other abnormalities. The results of this examination guide further treatment decisions.

Therapeutically, mirigyeltávolítás is often employed to remove diseased glands or lymph nodes, particularly in cases of cancer. If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, a lymph node dissection may be necessary to remove all affected nodes and prevent further dissemination of the disease. In some instances, such as infections or inflammatory conditions, removal of the affected gland might be the primary treatment to alleviate symptoms and eradicate the source of the problem.

The specific technique and extent of mirigyeltávolítás depend on the location and size of the gland or lymph node, as well as the underlying medical condition. Recovery time can vary, and potential complications may include bleeding, infection, swelling, or nerve damage. Post-operative care and rehabilitation are important aspects of the recovery process.
