A mastectomy is an operation to remove a breast and is an effective treatment for breast cancer. During a radical mastectomy, the entire breast is removed, as well as the lymph nodes in the armpit. The aim is to remove any cancerous tissues from your breast and surrounding areas, preventing the cancer from returning or spreading.
During a simple mastectomy, your surgeon will remove all of the breast and most of the skin covering it, while preserving the surrounding chest muscles and lymph nodes. The aim is to remove any cancerous tissues, preventing the cancer from returning or spreading.
After a mastectomy, your surgeon may be able to use body tissue taken from elsewhere on your body to reconstruct the shape of your breast. One such procedure is deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction, so-called because it uses a ‘flap’ of muscle, usually taken from your belly.
