Dear students, This is only for your revision and NOT A FULL TEXT.

Breast

•       Secondary sexual feature

•      Nutritionfor the neonate

Anatomy

•       Areola

•       Nipple

•       Adipose tissue

•       Fibrous connective tissue

•       Epithelial secretory tissue

•       15 – 20  lobules

•       Lactiferous  ducts

 

Within the superficialfascia

Anterior to the upper thorax

Extent

n  2nd to 6th ribs vertically

n  Sternal Edge to

                    mid axillary line

 

Nipple

n Covered by hairless skin

n 4th intercostal space

n Colour varies

n Lactiferous ducts open (15 – 20)

 

Areola

n Around the nipple

n  Colour varies

n  Tubercles of Montgomery

Post Natal Development

At Puberty – Phase

 

 I           :    Elevation of the nipple

 II          :     Glandular subareolar tissue

                     Nipple & breast projecting from                   chest wall as a single mass     

III         Pigmentation of areola

               breast  tissue increases

IV   :Areola & Nipple form a

         secondary mass

V           :Smooth contour of the breast

n Mammary line

       Axilla to inguinal region

n Accessory breast tissue (polythelia)

SURGERY ON BREAST

Operations on Breast

Drainage of Abscess

Excision of Lump

Surgery for Ca. Breast

            Modified Radical Mastectomy

            Simple Mastectomy -commonly practised now

 

Drainage of Abscess

Indication :

            AcutePyogenic Abscess

Anaesthesia 

            GeneralAnaesthesia

Incision 

            AlongLanger’s Lines

                  -Curvedin a Circular Shape

                  - MostDependent Area

 Deepen the Incision

Drain the Pus

Break the Loculi

Keep a Drain

Post Operative

            Antibiotics

            Analgesics

 

Excision of Lump

Indications

            Fibroadenoma

           Fibroadenosis ?    If patient requires

            Cyst in the Breast ?    Reccurent cyst after multiple aspirations and cytology

            ChronicAbscess         (Antibioma)

            Early Carcinoma Breast ?   Clinicaly vague in diagnosis

 Anaesthesia

            General  or Local

            Incisions

                        Circum-Areolar

                        Circular Incision         (Langer’sLines)

                        Submammary            (Gaillard– Thomas )

 Excision of Lump

Excise the Lump Compltely

With a Margin of Healthy Tissue

Cavity - Drain Kept

Skin Sutured

 

Gynaecomastia

Treatment

            Excision

Anaesthesia

            General or Local Anaesthesia

Incision   (Depends on size )

            Circumareolar

            Submammary

 

Carcinoma Breast

Modified Radical Mastectomy

Simple Mastectomy

Radical Mastectomy  First Described By-William Halstead-(John Hopskins Medical School)

 WLE-Wide Local Excision


Radical Mastectomy -No longer done

Structures Removed

Breast along with Nipple & Areola

Tumour in the Breast

Pectoralis Major & Minor Muscles

Axillary Fat, Fascia & Lymph Nodes

May Require Skin Grafting

 

Disadvantages

            Loss of Anterior Axillary Fold

            Skin grafting doesn’t take well

            RadiationDamage was More

            Cosmetically NOT acceptable

            Psychologically Damaging

Why Muscles removed?

            Facilitate Axillary Dissection

 

Modified Radical Mastectomy

Advantages 

Preserving Pectoralis Major

            Preserves Ant Axillary Fold

            Skin Graft takes up Better

            Radiation Damage is less

Now-a-days Standard Operation for Carcinoma Breast

Radical mastectomy NO LONGER DONE

 

Modified Radical Mastectomy

Incision

            Stewart’sIncision

            HorizontalElliptical Incision

            IncludePrevios Biopsy Site

Structures Preserved

Perctoralis Major Muscle

Long Thoracic Nerve of Bell

Thoracodorsal Nerve

Axillary Vein

 

Complications

Flap Necrosis

Haematoma under the flaps

Lymphoedema of Arm

 

Simple Mastectomy

Structures Removed

            Breastwith Nipple & Areola

            Tumourin the Breast

            PectoralFascia

Anaesthesia , Position &

Incision  all sameas in Patey’s Mastectomy

 

Simple Mastectomy

Indications

            AdvancedCarcinoma Breast -Palliative

            RecurrentPhyllodes Tumour
