Mastectomy Surgery Overview:

A mastectomy, also known as breast removal surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing a breast, which may also involve the removal of lymph nodes. It is frequently used as a treatment for breast cancer.

Following the mastectomy, a breast reconstruction procedure may be performed to restore the breast’s shape, either simultaneously or as a second operation. The mastectomy indications include an enlarged tumor, multiple tumors, and being unable to undergo radiation therapy. The size of the breast determines the type of mastectomy to be undergone. High-risk women may opt for a mastectomy to prevent cancer. Breast cancer is most prevalent in women over 50, making mastectomy more common. Early detection, risk factors, and personal considerations influence the decision. Early detection allows for less invasive treatments.

Types of Mastectomy Surgery

There are various types of mastectomy procedures, and they include:

Total mastectomy: Removal of all the breast tissue, leaving the pectoral muscles.
Bilateral mastectomy: Total removal of both breasts; it is usually performed in a case whereby the case at hand is very high.
Skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy: Removing the breast tissue with sparing of the skin and/or the nipple for reconstruction.
Modified radical mastectomy: Removal of all the breast tissue as well as the lymph nodes found along the underarms on the same side where the first breach of the cancer occurs.
Radical mastectomy: It is a very rare surgical procedure that involves removal of all the breast tissues, underarm lymph nodes, and the pectoral muscles that lie below the breast.
Partial mastectomy: It is a surgical procedure in which the cancerous mammary gland tissues are removed while the other mammary gland tissues are preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mastectomy Surgery

Pain and soreness at the incision site can be experienced immediately following mastectomy, which may be managed with medication prescribed. Some experience tightness, pulling, or burning sensations around the incision site and chest wall, accompanied by a feeling of muscle ache on both sides. Soreness is usually greater if lymph nodes are removed. Pain varies depending upon the type of mastectomy performed, patients’ pain threshold, and other possible complications. Pain management techniques include medications, ice packs, pillows, and relaxation exercises.

A mastectomy is a significant major surgery that permanently removes the breast. This surgery takes up to 4 hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia on either one or both breasts.

No, mastectomy surgery removes the breast tissue with in it milk ducts and glands, which are non-regenerative and cannot grow once they have been removed.

Recovery after mastectomy surgery can take four to six weeks, while the sutured wound heals normally within three weeks. Initially, the patient will be quite tired, sore, and stiff, but most people require just mild pain relievers.

Recurrent breast cancer is possible even after a mastectomy when microscopic cancer cells are left behind in the process of the surgery. It is dependent upon the stage and type of cancer, involvement of lymph nodes, receptor status as to hormones, and other genetic mutations. Early detection or diagnosis makes the prevention of its recurrence important; one should visit a doctor for regular follow-up appointments and screen tests such as mammography to help eliminate the possibility of recurrence and carry out the treatment effectively.
