Summary
| Description | This is an overview of subcutaneous mastectomy, a method of treating breast cancer surgically that removes less breast tissue than traditional methods. The speaker emphasizes that removal of the breasts is often detrimental to the mental health of the woman and may impact her sexual life. Studies show that survival rates are high following the procedure, and a majority of women who have undergone it say that it was the right decision for them. Images of different stages of the mastectomy are shown. Credits: Bennet M. K. Lau. |
