Abstract

When possible, most women choose breast conservation therapy (lumpectomy with radiation therapy) over mastectomy. Under some circumstances, mastectomy is a better option. The technique of mastectomy has evolved since the original classical radical mastectomy. The recent trend is toward greater use of skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate reconstruction. Technical aspects of performing a mastectomy are reviewed.
