Abstract The author traces the evolution of his surgical treatment of breast cancer from conventional, through extended, and finally to a modified, conservative, radical mastectomy as the treatment of choice for all primary operable carcinomas. The justification for this is outlined, and a case is made for the use of postoperative supervoltage ...

The term modified radical mastectomy has come to mean removal of the breast together with a variable number of axillary lymph nodes. Some surgeons take a few outer lymph nodes, some do a complete excision of the lateral third of the axillary nodes using the pectoralis minor muscle as the upper boundary for their dissection, some elevate the pectoralis ...

Early discharge after modified radical mastectomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1986
Thirty-nine patients underwent modified radical mastectomy and were discharged with their suction drains and sutures in place after a mean postoperative stay of 4.7 days. Drains and sutures were removed at the first office visit. There were no infections, and late seromas developed in only 21 percent of the patients.

Eliminating the dog-ear in modified radical mastectomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1988
Inadequate attention has been paid to optimal closure of the postmastectomy incision in patients not desirous of breast reconstruction. Herein, we describe the use of a basic plastic surgical technique at the time of mastectomy to eliminate the dog-ear deformity at the axillary end of the incision.

Comparison of postoperative complications following radical and modified radical mastectomy

World Journal of Surgery, 1977
AbstractA retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the files of 100 patients who had undergone radical mastectomy and 100 patients who had undergone modified radical mastectomy from 1966 to 1975 for the purpose of comparing early and late complications. In each group, 80 patients were involved in long‐term follow‐up.

Glandular Excision in Total Glandular Mastectomy and Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Comparison

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1991
Total glandular mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy were compared for the amount of breast tissue remaining after surgery. Multiple biopsies were taken from the anterior chest walls of women following total glandular mastectomy (N = 27) and modified radical mastectomy (N = 28) to try to detect any residual glandular tissue.

Is modified radical mastectomy really equivalent to radical mastectomy in treatment of carcinoma of the breast?

Cancer, 1986
Evaluation of any therapeutic modality for carcinoma of the breast requires prolonged follow-up. Between 1965 and 1968, 870 women with primary unilateral breast cancer were treated surgically at our institution. To achieve a study group that could be meaningfully analyzed, the authors identified and excluded all patients with pre-existing life ...
