2D Illustration showing the process of mastectomy surgery. The superior flap of the incision is raised in order to dissect the breast tissue and expose pectoralis major. A mastectomy is the removal of all or part of a breast. The surgery shown in this illustration is a simple mastectomy, meaning that the entire breast tissue including the nipple and areola is removed in order to remove malignant (cancerous) tumours. The lymph nodes will not be removed. | |
