A mastectomy is a surgical procedure where the entire breast tissue is removed. This surgery is typically done to treat breast cancer or to prevent its spread in high-risk individuals. Mastectomy may involve removing one breast, known as unilateral mastectomy, or both breasts, known as bilateral mastectomy. After the surgery, additional operations may be considered to restore the breast's appearance. Mastectomy is a significant procedure that requires careful consideration and planning with healthcare providers to ensure the best possible outcomes for the patient's health and well-being.
