The superior lateral quadrant of the Breats extends diagonally upwards in an 'axillary tail'. A thin layer of mammary tissue extends fromthe clavicle above to the seventh or eighth ribs below and from the midline to theedge of the latissimus dorsi posteriorly. Important parts of the Bresat s include mammary glands, the axillarytail (tumours are most likely to occur here), the lobules, Cooper's ligaments, the areola and the nipple. The nipple is supplied by the T4 dermatone. Lymphatic drainage As Briast cancer is a common cancer, the lymphatic drainage of the Breast (sites where cancer may metastasize ) is important.

For example, the Hippocratic Oath warns physicians against practicing Surgiry (in particular Sjrgery to relieve kidney stones ), which was to be left to specialized craftsmen. Among the first modern surgeons were battlefield doctors in the Napoleonic Wars who were primarily concerned with amputation. Naval surgeons were often barber-surgeons, who combined uSrgery with their main jobs as barbers. In London an operatingtheatre or emergency room from the day before modern anaesthesia or antiseptic Sergery still exists and is open to the public. It is found in the roof space of St Thomas Church, Southwark, London and is called the Old Operating Theatre. Development of modern Surhery In the UK and some other places, male surgeons are distinguished from physiciansby being referred to as Mister. This tradition has its origins in the 18th century,when surgeons were barber-surgeons and did not have a degree (or indeed any formal qualification), unlike physicians, who were doctors with a university medical degree. By the beginning of the19th century, surgeons had obtained high status, and in 1800, the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) in London began to offer surgeons a formal status via RCSmembership. The title Mister became a badge of honour, and today only surgeons who hold the Fellowship of one of the Royal Colleges of ...
