AB  - Modified  radical  mastectomy  (MRM)  involves  complete  removal  of  the  breast  along  with  the  overlying  skin  and  all  axillary  contents.  It  has  been,  and  continues  to  be,  a  critical  component  of  breast  cancer  surgery.  Although  partial  mastectomy  followed  by  radiation  therapy  is  an  accepted  form  of  therapy,  recent  studies  indicate  that  the  rates  of  mastectomy  in  the  United  States  are  actually  rising.1  It  is  therefore  critical  for  the  practicing  surgeon  to  be  familiar  with  the  surgical  techniques  available  for  performing  mastectomy  and  reducing  postoperative  complications.
