PreOp® Patient Education Mastectomy Modified Radical Surgery

http://www.PreOp.com Patient Education Company 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.
