Ciara Santos 11/1/2023 MCCG 240 Week 1: Discussion The procedure I chose was Mastectomy. A Mastectomy is done under general (or regional) anesthesia, in the supine position, with the patient’s arms abducted at 90 degrees and, depending on the operative plan, with one or both arms sterilely draped into the operative field. Prophylactic antibiotics are given prior to induction. Mastectomy without reconstruction is typically done through an elliptical incision, encompassing the nipple-areola, sufficient to allow SLN biopsy or ALND, and removing enough skin that the skin flaps will lie flat without redundancy. Mastectomy with reconstruction is typically done through an elliptical “skin-sparing” incision, with the axillary procedure done through a separate counter incision; incision planning is best done collaboratively with the plastic surgeon. Nipple-sparing mastectomy is done through a variety of incisions (inframammary, mi lateral, circumboreal, or a combination) and is dependent on patient anatomy and surgeon preference. The CPT code for this procedure is 19303.
