Mastectomy
Mastectomy (from Greek μαστός "breast" and ἐκτομή ektomia "cutting out") is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.
A mastectomy is usually carried out to treat breast cancer. In some cases, people believed to be at high risk of breast cancer have the operation prophylactically, that is, as a preventive measure. It is also the medical procedure carried out to remove cancerous tissues. Alternatively, some patients can choose to have a wide local excision, also known as a lumpectomy, an operation in which a small volume of breast tissue containing the tumor and a surrounding margin of healthy tissue is removed to conserve the breast.
Both mastectomy and lumpectomy are referred to as "local therapies" for breast cancer, targeting the area of the tumor, as opposed to systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy.
Traditionally, in the case of breast cancer, the whole breast was removed. Currently the decision to do the mastectomy is based on various factors, including breast size, number of lesions, biologic aggressiveness of a breast cancer, the availability of adjuvant radiation, and the willingness of the patient to accept higher rates of tumor recurrences after lumpectomy and radiation. Outcome studies comparing mastectomy to lumpectomy with radiation have suggested that routine radical mastectomy surgeries will not always prevent later distant secondary tumors arising from micro-metastases prior to discovery, diagnosis, and operation.

Questions for your Breast Surgeon:
1. Will I improve my chances of survival with a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
2. What are the disadvantages of a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
3. What are the advantages of a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
Isn’t it my choice to decide?
4. If I’m unsure, can I talk to a plastic surgeon?
5. What is a “Bilateral Mastectomy”?
Also called a “double mastectomy,” this is when both breasts are surgically removed. The term “Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy” is also used by the medical community for removal of the opposite, non-cancerous breast. Most of the time the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy is a personal one and is not required to treat a breast cancer that is on one side.
There are situations where a “bilateral mastectomy” may be offered for consideration by your breast surgeon. The medical aspects are more complicated than listed below, but we include some common scenarios.
Cancer in both breasts
BRCA (“breast cancer gene”) mutation or other high-risk genetic mutation
Strong family history of breast cancer
Younger than 35 with breast cancer
High risk for developing a new cancer
Radiation to your chest at a young age
Am I at risk of developing a “New Breast Cancer” in my other breast?
Simple statistics are important to understand this concept. Below is a common scenario where women consider undergoing bilateral mastectomies to treat their existing cancer and reduce the risk of developing a new cancer in the other breast.
Let’s say you are 45 years old, have an early, Stage I or II breast cancer and either need or have chosen to have a mastectomy to treat your cancer effectively. What is your risk of developing a new breast cancer in the other breast in the future?
If you were just diagnosed with breast cancer and have no other risk factors, you will have a slightly higher overall risk of developing a totally new breast cancer in your lifetime. This risk rises from the normal lifetime risk of 8% for both breasts to approximately 12%, assuming a lumpectomy is performed and you keep both breasts.
If you are in this situation and are trying to decide if you want a bilateral rather than a mastectomy on one side, your risk of developing a new cancer in your lifetime in the other breast if you choose to keep it is about 6% (half of the 12% above). We cure about 90% of all breast cancers with current treatments. Therefore, your lifetime chance of dying from a new cancer in that other breast will be about 0.6%.
“Bilateral Mastectomy” for cancer on one side?
Most of the time the choice to have a bilateral mastectomy is a personal one for a variety of reasons. Even when well informed, many women decide to proceed with removing both breasts for “peace of mind” and the desire to “never go through this again.” It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, unique personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their own breast cancer. “Patient autonomy” is essential to a great “doctor-patient” relationship.
Controversy about “Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy”
There has been a trend over the last decade of more women choosing a “double mastectomy” when they have cancer in one breast. About 25 to 50% of all mastectomy surgeries done today are “bilateral” procedures. The more informed you become, the better decision you will make for your own situation.
There is an intense debate by breast specialists as to whether too many bilateral mastectomies are being performed.
What are the “disadvantages” of a bilateral mastectomy?
Surgical complication risks are slightly increased
Loss of sensation in the skin of both breasts
Increased need for revision surgeries in the future
Does not improve your “overall survival” from breast cancer
Does not lessen the chance you will need chemotherapy
A chance you might regret the decision in the future
What are the “advantages” of a bilateral mastectomy?
Lessens the chance of a new cancer in the breast
Screening mammograms are no longer needed
Cosmetic outcomes have improved over the last decade
Reconstructing both sides gives matching cosmetic outcomes
Discuss with your Breast Surgeon
Work to develop a close relationship with your breast surgeon. Print out and take these course notes with you when covering this topic. Ask to see a plastic surgeon about reconstruction options if you are unsure. Ultimately, your breast cancer treatment decisions are yours to make.

Questions for your Breast Surgeon:
1. What are my surgical options?
2. What surgery do you recommend for me?
3. What is the difference in recovery?
4. How do the “local recurrence” rates differ?
5. Can you outline the possible complications of both surgeries?
6. Should I do “Genetic Testing” before surgery?
7. Lumpectomy vs. Mastectomy surgery options
A Lumpectomy (followed by radiation) for early stage breast cancer is generally considered the optimal choice because it is less invasive and has the same cure rates as a mastectomy. At surgery, the breast cancer “lump” is removed with a margin of normal tissue around it. You are able to keep your breast with a lumpectomy, but you will likely benefit from a course of radiation to that breast to lessen the risk of developing a recurrence of cancer in the lumpectomy area of the breast in the future. It is important to note that some may not be good candidates for a lumpectomy.
A Mastectomy (usually without radiation) for early stage breast cancer is a more involved surgery especially if breast reconstruction is performed. It is important to understand that multiple surgeries are often needed by a plastic surgeon to ultimately achieve a symmetric, cosmetic outcome. “Nipple-sparing” and “skin-sparing” mastectomy techniques can now achieve better cosmetic outcomes than in the past. One advantage is that you can generally avoid radiation for early stage breast cancer. A mastectomy does not generally improve survival rates compared to lumpectomy for early stage breast cancer.
Why is breast surgery a complex decision?
Every patient presents with a unique breast cancer situation. Your breast surgeon is the key person to understand what surgical options will serve you the best. Multiple cancer factors play into these options. This is a complex decision and recommendations may differ amongst surgeons. Most importantly, it is up to you to make a well-informed decision that suits you as a person and a patient.
Do I have time to decide what surgery is best?
This is a difficult time and one of information overload. You have plenty of time to learn more about your breast cancer and discuss your options with your breast surgeon. Taking a few weeks to make a decision has not been shown to have an effect on your cancer outcome. Early stage breast cancer usually can be managed with either a lumpectomy followed by radiation or a mastectomy alone. There are distinct advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. When you are well educated about your options, you will be better prepared to work with your breast surgeon to decide what surgery is best for you.
Myths and Facts about surgery and early stage cancer:
A mastectomy does not reduce the need for chemotherapy
Lumpectomy is an outpatient surgery
It generally takes 3 to 6 weeks to schedule a mastectomy with reconstruction
Genetic testing before surgery can sometimes alter your decisions
Breast radiation after a lumpectomy usually takes 4 to 6 weeks
Does a mastectomy increase my odds of survival?
A mastectomy does not increase your odds of survival for early stage breast cancer. This question has been studied in detail. If you have a lumpectomy and radiation, your chance of being alive ten years later is exactly the same as if you had a mastectomy without radiation. “Survival” is the most important cancer outcome we measure. It is the same for both treatment approaches for early stage cancer.
Why do some choose a mastectomy over a lumpectomy?
Most of the time this choice is a personal one for a variety of reasons. There are legitimate differences between the two surgical approaches involving recovery, side effects, complications, and costs. It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, unique personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their health issues. “Patient autonomy” is essential to a great “doctor-patient” relationship. The more informed you become, the better decisions you will make for your own cancer situation.
Ask about BRCA Genetic testing before surgery.
You need to ask yourself this question, “If I have cancer and carry the BRCA mutation, would I change my mind about surgery and have both breasts removed to reduce my risks of having another new breast cancer in the future?” If the answer is yes or maybe, you should consider undergoing genetic testing before your recommended surgery. If the answer is no, then you can undergo testing after surgery.

TRYING TO NAVIGATE LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN?

PreOp® Patient Education - https://PreOp.com
Title: Total Mastectomy Patient Education
A Total Mastectomy is a pivotal procedure in breast cancer treatment, involving the complete removal of the breast to eradicate cancerous tissue. This surgical intervention is crucial when cancer has significantly progressed, posing a risk of spreading to other body parts.
In most instances, a mastectomy is essential to remove malignant tissue, with the extent of removal being contingent on the cancer's presence. It’s a major surgery, altering the chest's outward appearance permanently. It’s imperative for patients to comprehend the rationale behind this recommendation, ensuring informed consent and awareness.
The procedure commences with two incisions at the chest's middle, revealing the underlying tissue. The surgeon meticulously detaches the breast tissue from the underlying muscles, ensuring comprehensive removal. If cancer permeates the pectoralis major muscle, it may also be excised.
Post-surgery, drainage tubes are inserted temporarily to aid the healing process, and a sterile bandage is applied. This surgery is a significant stride in cancer treatment, necessitating thorough patient education and understanding. It’s vital to disseminate knowledge about this procedure, fostering awareness and empowerment in the journey against breast cancer.

Questions for your Breast Surgeon and Plastic Surgeon:
1. Am I a good candidate for breast reconstruction?
2. What type of reconstruction do you recommend?
3. Am I a candidate for a nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy?
4. What are the complications and disadvantages of reconstruction?
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a bilateral mastectomy?
What is Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is commonly performed after a mastectomy. The goal is to re-create the shape of the breast with one or multiple surgeries by a plastic-reconstructive surgeon. Today, the cosmetic results are leaps and bounds beyond where they were just a decade ago. With that said, breast reconstruction is far more complex and carries much higher complication risks than an elective breast augmentation. About half of women who have a mastectomy in the United States will undergo breast reconstruction.
A mastectomy without reconstruction is also a surgical choice. One can wear a breast prosthesis and avoid the more extensive surgeries and risks of complications with a reconstruction. The decision to have breast reconstruction is complicated and personal. It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, different personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their unique breast cancer situation.
Treating your breast cancer comes first.
There are many complex factors your breast cancer surgeon must consider about your reconstruction options. Most of the time your reconstructive options are not affected by your cancer treatment. But if you do have a complex breast cancer situation, ask your surgeon to present your dilemma to a multidisciplinary conference for further input from other surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Balancing a great cancer outcome with a good cosmetic outcome sometimes requires intensive discussions amongst your breast surgeon’s team of breast cancer specialists.
A surgical “Team Approach” is best.
Your breast surgeon will likely guide you to a plastic-reconstructive surgeon he or she works with regularly. They will work as a “team” to plan the best surgical approach to your cancer and likely work together the day of your mastectomy to begin your reconstruction. Subsequently, the plastic surgeon works with you in planning further staged reconstruction procedures.
What are your Breast Surgeon’s “Mastectomy Options”?
A skin-sparing mastectomy preserves the skin of the breast but not the nipple or areola. Preserving the normal “skin envelope” in the shape of your breast leads to better cosmetic results.
A nipple-sparing mastectomy preserves all the skin of the breast including the nipple and areola. If you have an early stage breast cancer located away from the nipple you may be a candidate for this approach. Nipple-sparing mastectomies generally lead to the best cosmetic results. Women with very large breasts may not be appropriate for a nipple-sparing technique.
A traditional mastectomy saves only enough skin to cover the chest wall. Sometimes this is required to effectively treat the cancer. Reconstruction can still be performed in this setting, but the cosmetic results may not be as successful as nipple-sparing or skin-sparing approaches.
What are your Plastic Surgeon’s “Breast Reconstruction Options”?
Two-stage implant reconstruction involves implantation of a “tissue expander” implant at the time of your mastectomy to help mold and stretch the skin to the desired size and shape. This implant will be expanded one “fill” at a time at office visits until the desired result is achieved. At a second operation, the plastic surgeon will remove the expander and place a permanent implant filled with “saline” or “silicone.” This the most common approach to breast reconstruction today.
One-stage implant reconstruction occurs with well-selected patients that can undergo placement of the “final implant” during the mastectomy surgery. This approach is not nearly as common as the two-stage approach outlined above.
Tissue flap reconstruction is used in about 10% of all breast reconstructions in the United States. The benefit is that it uses a segment of your own tissue from your abdominal area or your back to fill the space needed to reconstruct the breast. It is a much more complicated and involved surgery but the results seldom require surgical revisions in the future. Types of tissue flaps include DIEP flaps, TRAM flaps, and latissimus flaps.

Two-stage implant reconstruction involves implantation of a “tissue expander” implant at the time of your mastectomy to help mold and stretch the skin to the desired size and shape. This implant will be expanded one “fill” at a time at office visits until the desired result is achieved. At a second operation, the plastic surgeon will remove the expander and place a permanent implant filled with “saline” or “silicone.” This the most common approach to breast reconstruction today.
One-stage implant reconstruction occurs with well-selected patients that can undergo placement of the “final implant” during the mastectomy surgery. This approach is not nearly as common as the two-stage approach outlined above.
Tissue flap reconstruction is used in about 10% of all breast reconstructions in the United States. The benefit is that it uses a segment of your own tissue from your abdominal area or your back to fill the space needed to reconstruct the breast. It is a much more complicated and involved surgery but the results seldom require surgical revisions in the future. Types of tissue flaps include DIEP flaps, TRAM flaps, and latissimus flaps.

What is a Radical Mastectomy?
Traditionally, a Radical Mastectomy called for the removal of the breast, surrounding tissue and even the chest muscle below.
A Modified Radical Mastectomy is a procedure in which the breast and surrounding tissue are removed, while leaving the chest muscle intact. In most cases, mastectomy is required in order to remove cancerous tissue from the body. The extent of tissue removed is determined by the amount of cancer present in your body.
A Modified Radical Mastectomy is one the most extensive forms of breast cancer surgery in that it calls for the complete removal not only of the breast, but of the lymph nodes as well.
Lymph nodes are small junctions that join the vessels that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system circulates a bodily fluid called lymph in the same way that the circulatory system carries blood.
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a modified radical mastectomy because the cancer in your breast may have begun to move into the lymph nodes under your arm as well as into your chest muscle.
This procedure will permanently change the outward shape and appearance of your chest.
So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.
Your Procedure:
On the day of your operation, you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.
You may receive a sedative by mouth and an intravenous line may be put in.
You will then be transferred to the operating table.
In the operating room, a nurse will begin preparation by clipping or shaving your underarm.
The anesthesiologist will begin to administer anesthesia - most probably general anesthesia by injection and inhalation mask.
The surgeon will then apply an antiseptic solution to the skin and place a sterile drape around the operative site.
Two incisions will be made beginning at the middle of the chest, one along the top and one along the bottom of the breast - coming together just under the arm.
The skin is then lifted up and away, revealing the tissue underneath.
Beginning at the clavicle - or collar bone - the surgeon then begins to carefully cut the breast tissue away from the muscles that lie just beneath.
When the breast has been completely freed, it is lifted away, exposing the top layer of muscle, called the pectoralis major.
The surgeon will pull this muscle temporarily aside exposing the next layer of muscle - the pectoralis minor.
The surgeon will move this muscle aside, creating a clear view of the surrounding fatty tissue.
Within this fat deposit lie lymph nodes lymph vessels, blood vessels and nerves.
Using great care not to damage the large thoracic nerve, your doctor will remove the lymph nodes and surrounding fat.
Blood vessels will be tied off and your doctor will thoroughly examine the surrounding tissues for any other signs of disease.
When the surgical team is satisfied that they have done all that they can to remove the cancer, they will release the muscles and other tissue.
One or more drainage tubes will be temporarily inserted at the site while the healing process begins.
They will then close the incision. Finally, a sterile bandage is applied.

Questions for your Breast Surgeon:
1. Will I improve my chances of survival with a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
2. What are the disadvantages of a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
3. What are the advantages of a “Bilateral Mastectomy?”
Isn’t it my choice to decide?
4. If I’m unsure, can I talk to a plastic surgeon?
5. What is a “Bilateral Mastectomy”?
Also called a “double mastectomy,” this is when both breasts are surgically removed. The term “Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy” is also used by the medical community for removal of the opposite, non-cancerous breast. Most of the time the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy is a personal one and is not required to treat a breast cancer that is on one side.
There are situations where a “bilateral mastectomy” may be offered for consideration by your breast surgeon. The medical aspects are more complicated than listed below, but we include some common scenarios.
Cancer in both breasts
BRCA (“breast cancer gene”) mutation or other high-risk genetic mutation
Strong family history of breast cancer
Younger than 35 with breast cancer
High risk for developing a new cancer
Radiation to your chest at a young age
Am I at risk of developing a “New Breast Cancer” in my other breast?
Simple statistics are important to understand this concept. Below is a common scenario where women consider undergoing bilateral mastectomies to treat their existing cancer and reduce the risk of developing a new cancer in the other breast.
Let’s say you are 45 years old, have an early, Stage I or II breast cancer and either need or have chosen to have a mastectomy to treat your cancer effectively. What is your risk of developing a new breast cancer in the other breast in the future?
If you were just diagnosed with breast cancer and have no other risk factors, you will have a slightly higher overall risk of developing a totally new breast cancer in your lifetime. This risk rises from the normal lifetime risk of 8% for both breasts to approximately 12%, assuming a lumpectomy is performed and you keep both breasts.
If you are in this situation and are trying to decide if you want a bilateral rather than a mastectomy on one side, your risk of developing a new cancer in your lifetime in the other breast if you choose to keep it is about 6% (half of the 12% above). We cure about 90% of all breast cancers with current treatments. Therefore, your lifetime chance of dying from a new cancer in that other breast will be about 0.6%.
“Bilateral Mastectomy” for cancer on one side?
Most of the time the choice to have a bilateral mastectomy is a personal one for a variety of reasons. Even when well informed, many women decide to proceed with removing both breasts for “peace of mind” and the desire to “never go through this again.” It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, unique personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their own breast cancer. “Patient autonomy” is essential to a great “doctor-patient” relationship.
Controversy about “Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy”
There has been a trend over the last decade of more women choosing a “double mastectomy” when they have cancer in one breast. About 25 to 50% of all mastectomy surgeries done today are “bilateral” procedures. The more informed you become, the better decision you will make for your own situation.
There is an intense debate by breast specialists as to whether too many bilateral mastectomies are being performed.
What are the “disadvantages” of a bilateral mastectomy?
Surgical complication risks are slightly increased
Loss of sensation in the skin of both breasts
Increased need for revision surgeries in the future
Does not improve your “overall survival” from breast cancer
Does not lessen the chance you will need chemotherapy
A chance you might regret the decision in the future
What are the “advantages” of a bilateral mastectomy?
Lessens the chance of a new cancer in the breast
Screening mammograms are no longer needed
Cosmetic outcomes have improved over the last decade
Reconstructing both sides gives matching cosmetic outcomes
Discuss with your Breast Surgeon
Work to develop a close relationship with your breast surgeon. Print out and take these course notes with you when covering this topic. Ask to see a plastic surgeon about reconstruction options if you are unsure. Ultimately, your breast cancer treatment decisions are yours to make.

Questions for your Breast Surgeon:
1. What are my surgical options?
2. What surgery do you recommend for me?
3. What is the difference in recovery?
4. How do the “local recurrence” rates differ?
5. Can you outline the possible complications of both surgeries?
6. Should I do “Genetic Testing” before surgery?
7. Lumpectomy vs. Mastectomy surgery options
A Lumpectomy (followed by radiation) for early stage breast cancer is generally considered the optimal choice because it is less invasive and has the same cure rates as a mastectomy. At surgery, the breast cancer “lump” is removed with a margin of normal tissue around it. You are able to keep your breast with a lumpectomy, but you will likely benefit from a course of radiation to that breast to lessen the risk of developing a recurrence of cancer in the lumpectomy area of the breast in the future. It is important to note that some may not be good candidates for a lumpectomy.
A Mastectomy (usually without radiation) for early stage breast cancer is a more involved surgery especially if breast reconstruction is performed. It is important to understand that multiple surgeries are often needed by a plastic surgeon to ultimately achieve a symmetric, cosmetic outcome. “Nipple-sparing” and “skin-sparing” mastectomy techniques can now achieve better cosmetic outcomes than in the past. One advantage is that you can generally avoid radiation for early stage breast cancer. A mastectomy does not generally improve survival rates compared to lumpectomy for early stage breast cancer.
Why is breast surgery a complex decision?
Every patient presents with a unique breast cancer situation. Your breast surgeon is the key person to understand what surgical options will serve you the best. Multiple cancer factors play into these options. This is a complex decision and recommendations may differ amongst surgeons. Most importantly, it is up to you to make a well-informed decision that suits you as a person and a patient.
Do I have time to decide what surgery is best?
This is a difficult time and one of information overload. You have plenty of time to learn more about your breast cancer and discuss your options with your breast surgeon. Taking a few weeks to make a decision has not been shown to have an effect on your cancer outcome. Early stage breast cancer usually can be managed with either a lumpectomy followed by radiation or a mastectomy alone. There are distinct advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. When you are well educated about your options, you will be better prepared to work with your breast surgeon to decide what surgery is best for you.
Myths and Facts about surgery and early stage cancer:
A mastectomy does not reduce the need for chemotherapy
Lumpectomy is an outpatient surgery
It generally takes 3 to 6 weeks to schedule a mastectomy with reconstruction
Genetic testing before surgery can sometimes alter your decisions
Breast radiation after a lumpectomy usually takes 4 to 6 weeks
Does a mastectomy increase my odds of survival?
A mastectomy does not increase your odds of survival for early stage breast cancer. This question has been studied in detail. If you have a lumpectomy and radiation, your chance of being alive ten years later is exactly the same as if you had a mastectomy without radiation. “Survival” is the most important cancer outcome we measure. It is the same for both treatment approaches for early stage cancer.
Why do some choose a mastectomy over a lumpectomy?
Most of the time this choice is a personal one for a variety of reasons. There are legitimate differences between the two surgical approaches involving recovery, side effects, complications, and costs. It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, unique personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their health issues. “Patient autonomy” is essential to a great “doctor-patient” relationship. The more informed you become, the better decisions you will make for your own cancer situation.
Ask about BRCA Genetic testing before surgery.
You need to ask yourself this question, “If I have cancer and carry the BRCA mutation, would I change my mind about surgery and have both breasts removed to reduce my risks of having another new breast cancer in the future?” If the answer is yes or maybe, you should consider undergoing genetic testing before your recommended surgery. If the answer is no, then you can undergo testing after surgery.

Watch as our Physician Associates, Dora and Anna, biopsy a tumor in a resected breast. This breast tissue was removed during a mastectomy by Dr. Richardson, and the patient requested biopsies of the tumor be taken and sent to the lab for further testing. The purpose of this is to define what kind of tumor it is so that the oncologists can decide what chemo treatment to use.

Title: Total Mastectomy Patient Education
A Total Mastectomy is a pivotal procedure in breast cancer treatment, involving the complete removal of the breast to eradicate cancerous tissue. This surgical intervention is crucial when cancer has significantly progressed, posing a risk of spreading to other body parts.
In most instances, a mastectomy is essential to remove malignant tissue, with the extent of removal being contingent on the cancer's presence. It’s a major surgery, altering the chest's outward appearance permanently. It’s imperative for patients to comprehend the rationale behind this recommendation, ensuring informed consent and awareness.
The procedure commences with two incisions at the chest's middle, revealing the underlying tissue. The surgeon meticulously detaches the breast tissue from the underlying muscles, ensuring comprehensive removal. If cancer permeates the pectoralis major muscle, it may also be excised.
Post-surgery, drainage tubes are inserted temporarily to aid the healing process, and a sterile bandage is applied. This surgery is a significant stride in cancer treatment, necessitating thorough patient education and understanding. It’s vital to disseminate knowledge about this procedure, fostering awareness and empowerment in the journey against breast cancer.

4. What are the complications and disadvantages of reconstruction?
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a bilateral mastectomy?
What is Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is commonly performed after a mastectomy. The goal is to re-create the shape of the breast with one or multiple surgeries by a plastic-reconstructive surgeon. Today, the cosmetic results are leaps and bounds beyond where they were just a decade ago. With that said, breast reconstruction is far more complex and carries much higher complication risks than an elective breast augmentation. About half of women who have a mastectomy in the United States will undergo breast reconstruction.
A mastectomy without reconstruction is also a surgical choice. One can wear a breast prosthesis and avoid the more extensive surgeries and risks of complications with a reconstruction. The decision to have breast reconstruction is complicated and personal. It is important to realize that everyone has different goals, different personal situations, and their own reasons as to how they manage their unique breast cancer situation.
Treating your breast cancer comes first.
There are many complex factors your breast cancer surgeon must consider about your reconstruction options. Most of the time your reconstructive options are not affected by your cancer treatment. But if you do have a complex breast cancer situation, ask your surgeon to present your dilemma to a multidisciplinary conference for further input from other surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Balancing a great cancer outcome with a good cosmetic outcome sometimes requires intensive discussions amongst your breast surgeon’s team of breast cancer specialists.
A surgical “Team Approach” is best.
Your breast surgeon will likely guide you to a plastic-reconstructive surgeon he or she works with regularly. They will work as a “team” to plan the best surgical approach to your cancer and likely work together the day of your mastectomy to begin your reconstruction. Subsequently, the plastic surgeon works with you in planning further staged reconstruction procedures.
What are your Breast Surgeon’s “Mastectomy Options”?
A skin-sparing mastectomy preserves the skin of the breast but not the nipple or areola. Preserving the normal “skin envelope” in the shape of your breast leads to better cosmetic results.
A nipple-sparing mastectomy preserves all the skin of the breast including the nipple and areola. If you have an early stage breast cancer located away from the nipple you may be a candidate for this approach. Nipple-sparing mastectomies generally lead to the best cosmetic results. Women with very large breasts may not be appropriate for a nipple-sparing technique.
A traditional mastectomy saves only enough skin to cover the chest wall. Sometimes this is required to effectively treat the cancer. Reconstruction can still be performed in this setting, but the cosmetic results may not be as successful as nipple-sparing or skin-sparing approaches.
What are your Plastic Surgeon’s “Breast Reconstruction Options”?
Two-stage implant reconstruction involves implantation of a “tissue expander” implant at the time of your mastectomy to help mold and stretch the skin to the desired size and shape. This implant will be expanded one “fill” at a time at office visits until the desired result is achieved. At a second operation, the plastic surgeon will remove the expander and place a permanent implant filled with “saline” or “silicone.” This the most common approach to breast reconstruction today.
One-stage implant reconstruction occurs with well-selected patients that can undergo placement of the “final implant” during the mastectomy surgery. This approach is not nearly as common as the two-stage approach outlined above.
Tissue flap reconstruction is used in about 10% of all breast reconstructions in the United States. The benefit is that it uses a segment of your own tissue from your abdominal area or your back to fill the space needed to reconstruct the breast. It is a much more complicated and involved surgery but the results seldom require surgical revisions in the future. Types of tissue flaps include DIEP flaps, TRAM flaps, and latissimus flaps.

What is a Radical Mastectomy?
Traditionally, a Radical Mastectomy called for the removal of the breast, surrounding tissue and even the chest muscle below.
A Modified Radical Mastectomy is a procedure in which the breast and surrounding tissue are removed, while leaving the chest muscle intact. In most cases, mastectomy is required in order to remove cancerous tissue from the body. The extent of tissue removed is determined by the amount of cancer present in your body.
A Modified Radical Mastectomy is one the most extensive forms of breast cancer surgery in that it calls for the complete removal not only of the breast, but of the lymph nodes as well.
Lymph nodes are small junctions that join the vessels that make up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system circulates a bodily fluid called lymph in the same way that the circulatory system carries blood.
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a modified radical mastectomy because the cancer in your breast may have begun to move into the lymph nodes under your arm as well as into your chest muscle.
This procedure will permanently change the outward shape and appearance of your chest.
So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.
Your Procedure:
On the day of your operation, you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.
You may receive a sedative by mouth and an intravenous line may be put in.
You will then be transferred to the operating table.
In the operating room, a nurse will begin preparation by clipping or shaving your underarm.
The anesthesiologist will begin to administer anesthesia - most probably general anesthesia by injection and inhalation mask.
The surgeon will then apply an antiseptic solution to the skin and place a sterile drape around the operative site.
Two incisions will be made beginning at the middle of the chest, one along the top and one along the bottom of the breast - coming together just under the arm.
The skin is then lifted up and away, revealing the tissue underneath.
Beginning at the clavicle - or collar bone - the surgeon then begins to carefully cut the breast tissue away from the muscles that lie just beneath.
When the breast has been completely freed, it is lifted away, exposing the top layer of muscle, called the pectoralis major.
The surgeon will pull this muscle temporarily aside exposing the next layer of muscle - the pectoralis minor.
The surgeon will move this muscle aside, creating a clear view of the surrounding fatty tissue.
Within this fat deposit lie lymph nodes lymph vessels, blood vessels and nerves.
Using great care not to damage the large thoracic nerve, your doctor will remove the lymph nodes and surrounding fat.
Blood vessels will be tied off and your doctor will thoroughly examine the surrounding tissues for any other signs of disease.
When the surgical team is satisfied that they have done all that they can to remove the cancer, they will release the muscles and other tissue.
One or more drainage tubes will be temporarily inserted at the site while the healing process begins.
They will then close the incision. Finally, a sterile bandage is applied.

Mastectomy
Mastectomy (from Greek μαστός "breast" and ἐκτομή ektomia "cutting out") is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.
A mastectomy is usually carried out to treat breast cancer. In some cases, people believed to be at high risk of breast cancer have the operation prophylactically, that is, as a preventive measure. It is also the medical procedure carried out to remove cancerous tissues. Alternatively, some patients can choose to have a wide local excision, also known as a lumpectomy, an operation in which a small volume of breast tissue containing the tumor and a surrounding margin of healthy tissue is removed to conserve the breast.
Both mastectomy and lumpectomy are referred to as "local therapies" for breast cancer, targeting the area of the tumor, as opposed to systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy.
Traditionally, in the case of breast cancer, the whole breast was removed. Currently the decision to do the mastectomy is based on various factors, including breast size, number of lesions, biologic aggressiveness of a breast cancer, the availability of adjuvant radiation, and the willingness of the patient to accept higher rates of tumor recurrences after lumpectomy and radiation. Outcome studies comparing mastectomy to lumpectomy with radiation have suggested that routine radical mastectomy surgeries will not always prevent later distant secondary tumors arising from micro-metastases prior to discovery, diagnosis, and operation.
