Why cant you draw blood from the same side as a mastectomy?
Drawing blood from the same side as a mastectomy can increase the risk of lymphedema, a condition caused by the removal of lymph nodes during surgery. This can affect the flow of lymphatic fluid and lead to swelling in the arm, making it difficult to draw blood from that side. It is recommended to avoid drawing blood from the affected side to prevent complications.
Why are nipples taken in a mastectomy?
Nipples are often removed during a mastectomy to ensure complete removal of breast tissue that may contain cancer cells, reducing the risk of recurrence. In some cases, preserving the nipple may be possible through techniques like nipple-sparing mastectomy, but this depends on the individual’s cancer stage and anatomy. Removing the nipple can also facilitate better cosmetic outcomes in reconstructive surgery. Ultimately, the decision is made based on medical necessity and patient preference.
What preparation must a patient make before a mastectomy?
Routine preoperative preparations, such as not eating or drinking the night before surgery, typically are ordered for a mastectomy. The patient also may be asked to donate blood in case a blood transfusion is required during surgery.

Breast reconstruction can be undertaken either during or after a mastectomy depending on the advice of the surgeon and the wishes of the patient.
