What does a Modified Radical Mastectomy involve?
This procedure removes the entire breast tissue along with the overlying skin and nipple-areola complex, plus the axillary lymph nodes (levels I and II). The pectoralis major muscle is preserved, which helps maintain chest wall strength and arm function. It is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours.
