Only one mastectomy is being performed each on the right and left side. The same thing for bilateral tubal ligation, you would not put bilateral tubal ligations. If a person had four breasts and two were being removed from each side, then it would be bilateral mastectomies!

It sounds like either "her cardiomastectomy" or "recardid mastectomy"...neither one makes sense though! lol.

Any thoughts??? Thanks!

Subject: Yes, bilateral mastectomy. see inside

In medicine, mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.

Bilateral means both and mastectomy is one or two. Do not need mastectomies even though the doc is saying it.
