Surgical Clinics of North America, 1978
The recent history of operations for breast cancer indicates a growing trend toward conservatism. The modified radical mastectomy achieves the goal of removing all evidence of cancer in the breast involved and removes the regional lymph nodes for accurate staging of the disease.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1984
Surgical management in the treatment of potentially curable breast cancer has changed from a radical to a more conservative approach. The most common procedure used at the present time is the modified mastectomy, which is discussed in detail in this article.

Cancer, 1971
Considering the uncertainty as to the biological propensity of a given tumor and until further evidence provides precise indications for lesser operations modified radical mastectomy seems best for most breast cancer patients. The modified operation provides an opportunity to examine the axillary node thus preventing the need for a secondary operation

Modified radical mastectomy using harmonic scalpel
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2000Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) remains the most commonly performed surgery for breast cancer today. Conventional surgery using scalpel and electrocautery is associated with moderate blood loss and morbidity in the form of haematoma, flap necrosis, prolonged axillary drainage, and seroma.

Modified Radical Mastectomy With Knife Technique
Archives of Surgery, 2002Infusion of the breast with a tumescent solution of dilute epinephrine hydrochloride in lactated Ringer solution in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy allows the procedure to be performed rapidly with scalpel dissection and minimal blood loss.

Early discharge after modified radical mastectomy
The American Journal of Surgery, 1986Thirty-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.

Modified radical mastectomy: Why not?
The American Journal of Surgery, 1970Abstract 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 ...

Modified Radical Mastectomy, Simple (Total) Mastectomy
2013This chapter describes the standard technique for modified radical mastectomy (total mastectomy with axillary node dissection). It also describes modifications appropriate when axillary node dissection is not required.

Immediate Breast Reconstruction following Modified Radical Mastectomy
Tumori Journal, 1984Reducing postoperative psychological morbidity is an important goal in breast cancer patient care; a mutlidisciplinary approach is crucial in order to select candidates for immediate breast reconstruction. There is no oncologic reason for a delay after a modified radical mastectomy.

1994
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 ...
