Abstract:
Total mastectomy is an effective operation for patients who are candidates for a prophylactic mastectomy. This operation removes a larger percentage of breast tissue than subcutaneous mastectomy. The cosmetic results of total mastectomy with immediate reconstruction compare favorably with those of subcutaneous mastectomy.
