Summary
This study compared two surgical closure techniques after mastectomy: the fishtail method and the waisted teardrop method. Researchers looked at cosmetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, operative time, wound healing, and complications in 100 women. The goal was to see which technique gives better results with fewer issues like dog-ear deformities or slow healing.
