    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Breast Surgery

    Background:

    • Standard radical mastectomy techniques can pose risks to neurovascular structures.
    • Optimizing axillary exposure while preserving function is crucial in breast cancer surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a modified radical mastectomy technique focusing on pectoralis muscle manipulation.
    • To assess the efficacy, safety, and cosmetic outcomes of this surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Modified radical mastectomy involving pectoralis major and minor muscle maneuvers.
    • Surgical procedure performed on 20 patients.
    • Comparison of lymph node recovery with 223 historical radical mastectomy specimens.

    Main Results:

    • Excellent axillary exposure achieved with minimized risk of traction injury.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Lymph node recovery was comparable to standard radical mastectomy.
  • Superior cosmetic outcomes were observed compared to the standard procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • This modified radical mastectomy technique provides excellent results and should be considered.
    • The approach is recommended unless disease proximity compromises surgical margins.
