Patient Background

A 55-year-old male patient discovered a lump on his right shoulder over 5 years ago. Recently, the mass had grown significantly, affecting his appearance and daily clothing choices. The patient consulted multiple medical facilities and was told that major surgery with incisions exceeding 10cm would be required.

Patient Concerns

• The shoulder mass had been growing year by year

• The lump was visibly prominent when wearing dress shirts

• Worried about significant scarring after surgery

Pre-operative Assessment

After detailed consultation and physical examination, ultrasound imaging was arranged:

Ultrasound imaging showed a homogeneous hypoechoic mass with clear boundaries, consistent with typical lipoma characteristics.

The lateral view clearly shows the degree of protrusion of the mass, with the tumor significantly affecting the shoulder contour.

Surgical Plan

Based on Liusmed Clinic's proprietary " Throughout the procedure, the patient remained conscious with no significant pain. The patient was able to walk out of the clinic immediately after surgery.

Incision Ratio Analysis

Comparison with International Standards

• MOTIF Technique: Incision ratio approximately 33%

• MIE Technique: Incision ratio approximately 25-50%

• Liusmed Minimally Invasive: Incision ratio < 20%

This case achieved an incision ratio of only 11%, far below all international minimally invasive standards!

Surgical Results

The image above shows the post-operative wound photo. Note the small incision of only about 1.5cm. The tumor was completely removed and the appearance is restored to smooth contour.

Post-operative Recovery

Day 1 Post-op

• Mild wound swelling, no significant pain

• Normal activities resumed, no hospitalization required

• Oral pain medication sufficient

Day 7 Post-op

• Swelling subsided, scab formation began

• Follow-up visit for dressing change, wound healing well

Day 14 Post-op

• Sutures removed, wound completely healed

• Minimal scarring, barely visible

• All daily activities can be resumed

Pathology Report

The excised tissue was sent for pathological examination, confirming a benign lipoma with no malignant cells. The tumor was completely excised with clean margins.

Doctor's Summary

This case fully demonstrates the advantages of our refined minimally invasive technique. For giant lipomas, traditional surgery often requires equal-length incisions, which not only affects aesthetics but also increases recovery time.

Through over 20 years and tens of thousands of surgical cases, we are able to:

Precise assessment: Detailed preoperative planning ensures surgical safety

Minimally invasive execution: Minimal incision achieves maximum results

Complete excision: Ensures no tumor remnants, reducing recurrence rate

Aesthetic recovery: Concealed, small wounds that are nearly invisible after healing
