Objective：To investigate the surgical technique of reducing scar and maintaining the mammary shape in resection of benign breast tumor. Methods：In these patients, a curved incision was made over the tumor or around the mammary areola if the tumor was close to the mammary areola; the residual breast cavities preserved without suturing; 4-0 absorbable sutures were used for subdermal continuous suturing, then a pressue package was made; and no drains were used. Results：A total of 542 patients with 613 benign breast tumors were resected. No incision infection and dehiscence occured after operation and only linear scars were left at the surgical sites. Hematoma occrred in 26 patients (4.24%) and it resolved after conservative treatment. Skin depression due to relatively larger resection area developed in 3 patients (0.49%). Conclusions：This operative procedure not only simplifies the process and reduces the operating time, but also ensures a natural outline of the breast.
