Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Breast Surgery

Background:

  • Breast neoplasms require precise surgical intervention.
  • Understanding surgical techniques is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Quadrantectomy is a specific surgical approach for breast tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the surgical procedure of quadrantectomy.
  • To detail the anatomical structures involved in quadrantectomy.
  • To clarify the scope of tissue removal during quadrantectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Excision of the affected breast quadrant.
  • En bloc removal of overlying skin and subcutaneous tissue.
  • Inclusion of mammary gland and pectoral fascia in the specimen.

Main Results:

  • Complete removal of the breast quadrant containing the neoplasm.
  • The procedure encompasses skin, adipose tissue, glandular tissue, and muscle fascia.
  • A comprehensive surgical specimen is obtained for pathological analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Quadrantectomy is a defined surgical resection for breast neoplasms.
  • The technique ensures removal of the tumor with surrounding tissue margins.
  • This method is integral to breast cancer surgical management.
