Wait or remove quickly?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Of course, this always depends on the type of tumor, the region, possible pain or danger to surrounding tissue, speed of growth, etc. \u2013 a precise analysis is always useful for this \u2013 very often with imaging such as MRI or ultrasound.<\/p>\n
If in doubt, early removal is recommended. The operation usually does not become easier if the tumor increases in size.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n

cut=scar \n<\/strong><\/p>\n
An incision is almost always necessary when removing soft tissue tumors. A certain incision length is also necessary - for the sake of overview and accessibility. The best possible cutting direction and position of the incision is always important. A longer incision in a more hidden position in the correct direction can, for example, be less conspicuous than a very short incision with a lot of tension on the wound and subsequent scarring, poor positioning and in an area that is very conspicuous.<\/p>\n
Smaller soft tissue tumors can be easily removed under local anesthesia.<\/p>\n
For larger areas, a gentle general anesthetic is usually more suitable.<\/p>\n
The optimal form of anesthesia will always be part of the discussions before the operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n

follow-up treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n
It depends a lot on the histological findings. Depending on the type of tumor, tumor size, etc., follow-up checks at certain intervals are advisable. Optimal aftercare of the scar also makes sense, of course.<\/p>\n
What should you have heard\/read before having a soft tissue tumor removed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In many cases it makes sense (if known) not to wait too long to remove the soft tissue tumor - the operation is usually more complex and complicated. Pain and more can also be associated with an increase in size.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n
In most cases, actual soft tissue tumors do not simply disappear \u2013 therefore, timely removal is recommended before the tumor grows larger and causes problems.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

the operation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Deadlines must be met in Austria (surgery information and anesthesia information) \u2013 this results in a waiting time of around 2 weeks from the decision to have surgery to the operation itself. However, this does not normally play a role in tumor growth<\/p>\n
No blood-thinning medication until 10 days before surgery<\/p>\n
