BREAST ANATOMY
. Latin word Breast = Mammary gland. Modified sweat gland. Accessory organ of female reproduction system
Situation and extend Lies in superficial fascia of pectoral region. Extended Vertically - from 2 nd to 6 th ribs. 2 nd RIB 6 th RIB Pectoral fascia Pectoralis minor Pectoralis Major Retro mammary space
Situation and extend Lymphatics are present in retro mammary space. That is why in MRM we dissect the breast tissue with pectoral fascia.
CONTD…. Upper lateral quadrant has lateral extension – known as axillary tail of Spence. It piers deep pectoral fascia – known as foramen of langer. It has direct communication with anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. That is why we need to remove axillary LN with breast tissue with connecting axillary tail in continuity .
Structure of breast It can be divided in 3 components Skin with nipple areola Parenchyma Stroma
Structure of breast Nipple A conical projection Present just below the centre of the breast at the level of the fourth intercostal space 10 cm from the midline. pierced by 15 to 20 lactiferous ducts. It has a few modified sweat and sebaceous glands.
Structure of breast Areola Pigmented skin surrounding Nipple. Rich in modified sebaceous glands Oily secretions of these glands lubricate the nipple and areola, and prevent them from cracking during lactation.
Structure of breast Parenchyma It is a compound tubulo-alveolar gland 15 to 20 lobes. Each lobe is drained by a lactiferous duct. The lactiferous ducts converge towards the nipple and open on it. Near its termination each duct has a dilatation called a lactiferous sinus
Structure of breast Stroma supporting framework There are fibrous bands that provide structural support and insert perpendicularly into the dermis, termed the suspensory ligaments of Cooper. That is why if involvement of cooper’s ligament skin retraction
Blood supply Internal thoracic artery, a branch of the subclavian artery, through its perforating branches. The lateral thoracic, superior thoracic and acromiothoracic branches of the axillary artery. Lateral branches of the posterior intercostal arteries.
Lymphatic drainage Specialized lymphatic channels collect under the nipple and areola and form Sappey’s plexus. 75% axillary nodes 20% internal mammary nodes 5% posterior intercostal nodes
CONTD…. Level I nodes are located lateral to the lateral border of the pectoralis minor muscle. Level II nodes are located posterior to the pectoralis minor muscle. Level III nodes include the sub clavicular nodes medial to the pectoralis minor muscle.
CONTD… The anterior (pectoral) group lie along the lateral thoracic vessels. The posterior (scapular) group lie along the subscapular vessels. The lateral group lie along the upper part of the numerus, medial to the axillary vein. .
CONTD…. The central group lie in the fat of the upper axilla . The apical ( infraclaaicular ) group lie deep to the clavipectoral fascia, along the axillary vessels
BREAST CANCER It is a disease in which cells of breast grow out of control.
CLASSIFICATION
Imaging tests ▣ Breast exam ▣ Mammograms ▣ Breast ultrasound ▣ Breast MRI scan ▣ Biopsy
▣ Surgery ▣ Radiation therapy ▣ Biological therapy (targeted drug therapy) ▣ Hormone therapy ▣ Chemotherapy MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT IN MY PATIENT Preoperative investigations – WNL PAC fit Pre op instructions carried out as advised
trolley Special instruments include Skin hooks Morris retractor Liga clip applicator- 100,200,300
STEPS OF SURGERY 1. Anaesthesia 2.Position -Supine position with arm abducted < 90 degree -sandbag or bolster placed under thorax and shoulder of affected side
3. Incision - oblique elliptical incision angled towards axilla - includes entire areolar complex and previous scar if any - 1-2 cm away from tumor margin
4. Extent of dissection - Superiorly till clavicle -laterally till anterior margin of latissimus dorsi -Medially to sternal border -Inferiorly till costal margin
5. Specimen retracted upwards and laterally to expose P.minor 6.Dissection carried out till axillary node clearance. 7. Axillary investing fascia incised to expose axillary group of lymph nodes 8. The interpectoral ( Rotter ) group of lymph nodes removed. 9. Dissection done from medial to lateral side or vice- versa.
11. Investing layer of axillary vessels cut, tributaries transfixed and cut 12.lateral group ( level 1) lymph nodes removed 13. Thoracodorsal neurovascular bundle lies over lat.dorsi with nerve more laterally, subscapular (level 1) removed
14. level II Lymph nodes removed. 15. Central group of lymph nodes removed carefully seprating from axillary vein. 16. Dissection carried out anterior and medial to long thoracic nerve and specimen delivered
Care to be taken to preserve…… Medial and long pectoral nerve Long thoracic nerve Nerve to latissimus dorsi Axillary vein 17. wound irrigated with saline 18 .2 drains 1 below and other above p.major 19. skin closed with stapler

NURSING DIAGNOSIS Acute pain related to skin incision and surgical intervention Risk for fluid volume deficit related to fluid and blood loss during surgery 3. Risk for infection related to inadequate primary defence secondary to surgical incision 4. Knowledge deficit related to postoperative care 5. Impaired self deficit related to surgical intervention
HEALTH EDUCATION Maintaining respiratory function Achieving rest and comfort Drug compliance Dietary changes: High protein diet Do and don’ts after surgery Care of wound and drain Staple removal at 14 days Family support Post mastectomy exercises
