Modified breast cancer radical mastectomy is a more common operating method in breast surgery. Traditional modified radical mastectomy focuses on protecting the long thoracic nerve and thoracodorsal nerve while ignoring the protection of the anterior thoracic nerve and intercostobrachial nerve protection, which leads often to patients with upper medial arm numbness, acid swelling, pain, chest atrophy, and other problems. In the modified radical mastectomy of breast cancer, in this case, the author used an elaborative operation to protect the anterior thoracic nerve and intercostobrachial nerve and thoroughly dissected the third-level lymph nodes through the axillary approach.
