Improved sub-areolar breast tissue removal in nipple-sparing mastectomy using hydrodissection

Improved sub-areolar breast tissue removal in nipple-sparing mastectomy using hydrodissection. The breast, April 2012, Vol. 21(2), p.190-193.

Folli, S., et al.


We report on a new technique of dissection of the nipple-areola-complex (NAC) in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). NACs removed due to the presence of tumor cells beneath them were histologically examined for the presence of normal breast glandular tissue.
