METHOD FOR RADICAL MASTECTOMY IN CASE OF BREAST CANCER IN OBESE PATIENTS

摘要

A method for the radical mastectomy in the case of breast cancer in the obese patients comprises the club-shaped skin incision, the resection of the mammary gland, lymphodissection grade I-III, and the suturing of the surgical wound. The horizontal arched incisions of the skins start parasternally with arch-shaped flexure at the site of cross with anterior axillary line at the angle of 60° towards the apex of the axillary space. The mammary gland is resected as one-piece with the fat of the axillary area. The wound is sutured in layers generating the axillary area by the plastic reconstruction with the skin flaps.
