Objective  To review the development of endoscopic techniques in breast surgery, focusing on their use in benign breast lump resection and breast-conserving surgery for cancer, and also summarize the development and application of these techniques in China, highlighting promotion and homogenization challenges and future directions. Methods  A systematic review of relevant literature was conducted to trace the historical evolution, clinical applications, and related research of endoscopic techniques in breast surgery, emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic benign breast lump resection and breast-conserving surgery for cancer. Results  Endoscopic benign breast lump resection and breast-conserving surgery for cancer have improved patients’ postoperative psychological health and quality of life, particularly in scar-free surgery. However, challenges such as limited intraoperative visibility and prolonged surgery time lead to controversy in clinical practice. Conclusion  Despite significant advancements, endoscopic techniques in breast surgery also face challenges. Future efforts should focus on technological improvements and clinical research to address these issues, promoting widespread application and standardization. The key to future development lies in the promotion and homogenization of these technologies.
