For every woman, the breast is an attribute of femininity and attractiveness. Therefore, any breast diseases not only pose health risks but are also associated with psychological trauma. Oncologists and plastic surgeons at the Top Ichilov clinic perform the removal of breast cancer tumors of varying severity while simultaneously conducting plastic surgery for breast reconstruction.
Thus, upon completion of treatment, a woman can return to her usual life without feeling inferior and avoiding disability. Information on how breast tumor removal with simultaneous breast reconstruction in Israel is performed, as well as patient reviews about the level of medical care in this country, can be found on our clinic's website.
In Which Cases is Mastectomy Performed?
At Top Ichilov, breast tumors are treated using various methods: chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal, and immunomodulatory therapy. However, surgical intervention remains one of the most commonly used methods to combat breast cancer. It is applied when other methods are ineffective or contraindicated. In particular, when cancer is detected during pregnancy, at the second stage of the disease, when multiple disease foci are found, or when the tumor size exceeds 5 cm. Mastectomy has also become quite popular when anomalies in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are detected, which is performed to prevent the development of breast cancer.
In addition to oncological diseases, mastectomy is indicated in cases of extensive purulent inflammation in the breast (so-called phlegmon of the gland), in severe forms of mastopathy that have caused a large number of cysts, and in benign breast tumors – multiple nodular forms of fibroadenoma.

How is Breast Tumor Removal with Simultaneous Breast Reconstruction in Israel Performed?
Depending on the severity of the disease, mastectomy is performed in several ways.
Lumpectomy is the most organ-preserving intervention, where only the altered lobe of the gland is removed along with a small volume of surrounding normal tissue. It is effective when the tumor has not affected the lymph nodes and breast muscles.
Simple mastectomy involves the resection of the entire breast while leaving the regional axillary lymph nodes and breast muscles. Lymph nodes located within the gland may be removed. It is applicable in cases of ductal carcinoma and as a preventive operation in cases of high risk of cancer development. Modified radical mastectomy involves the complete removal of the breast along with level 1 and 2 lymph nodes and the small pectoral muscle.
Radical mastectomy is the complete resection of the breast, axillary lymph nodes, as well as the large and small pectoral muscles. This method is now rarely used and is replaced by modified radical mastectomy whenever possible. It is performed only if the tumor has spread to the breast muscles.
Immediately after the tumor removal procedure at Top Ichilov, manipulations to restore the shape of the breast are carried out. Both artificial implants and the patient's own tissues are used. The implants are made from the latest materials that maintain their shape after radiotherapy.
The natural tissues can be taken from various areas of the patient's body: the lower abdomen (the so-called TRAM flap), an area of the back located at the level of the gland (LD flap), or from the gluteal muscle. The patient's own tissues may be supplemented with silicone implants if necessary.
This simultaneous removal of breast tumors with simultaneous breast reconstruction in Israel is performed more often than separate surgeries. Firstly, the effect of immediate restoration is significantly better than that of separate surgeries. Secondly, the patient does not have to undergo two major surgical interventions.
Before the intervention, the patient undergoes examinations that include:
PET-CT, ultrasound, biopsy, mammography, blood tests.
