Definition
A number of different mastectomy procedures exist, including: * Partial mastectomy or lumpectomy—the tumor and a small margin of surrounding breast tissue is removed * Simple mastectomy—the entire breast is removed * Modified radical mastectomy—entire breast and some axillary lymph nodes (lymph nodes near the breast) are removed, but chest muscles are left in place * Radical mastectomy—entire breast, axillary lymph nodes, and chest muscle are removed (rarely done)
Interesting video, with a high detailed explanation and nice information. Its common to hear about Mastectomy, but usually we didnt know there are several kinds of Mastectomy and the difference between them. At Symposier Site more videos on the different kind of Mastectomies are available, visit it.
