How Mastectomy is performed
Based on oncological assessment, skin/nipple-sparing or traditional resection options can be selected. Mastectomy is often performed under general anesthesia, with axillary assessment and management (sentinel lymph node biopsy or dissection) as needed. Intraoperative attention is paid to skin flap perfusion and hemostasis, with drainage placed and layered sutures performed as appropriate, reserving conditions for possible subsequent reconstruction. Early postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and skin flap status, and comprehensive treatment is planned based on the final pathology. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
