Introduction
Mastectomy refers to the surgical treatment of breast diseases, with specific procedures including partial breast resection and total mastectomy. After administering general anesthesia to the patient, the surgeon makes an incision through the skin and subcutaneous tissue, separates the subcutaneous tissue from the breast gland, completely excises the breast tissue, ensures hemostasis, sutures the incision, and finally applies compression dressing.
Mastectomy refers to a surgical procedure used to treat breast diseases, including partial breast removal and total mastectomy. The entire mastectomy procedure is as follows:
1. Administer general anesthesia to the patient.
2. Make either a horizontal or vertical elliptical incision based on differences in breast size.
3. Incise the skin and subcutaneous tissue layer by layer, and dissect skin flaps on both sides of the incision, extending medially to the edge of the sternum and laterally to the lateral border of the pectoralis major muscle.
4. Completely dissect the breast tissue from the surface of the pectoralis major fascia and remove it surgically.
5. Suture the muscle, fascia, and skin layers sequentially, ensuring thorough disinfection and hemostasis during suturing.
6. Finally, apply compression dressing to the surgical wound to minimize postoperative bleeding.
Precautions: Prior to surgery, the benign or malignant nature of the lesion must be clearly diagnosed, and the surgical plan should be designed accordingly. After surgery, follow medical advice for daily care to promote rapid recovery.
Medication must be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician, and surgery should be performed at a正规 medical institution.
