[Are there still indications for subcutaneous mastectomy?].
There are many indications for subcutaneous mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using silicone implants because of the relatively simple technique. The risk of malignant change in simple mastopathy is minimal. However, the inadequacy of an operative technique that leaves behind unknown quantities of breast tissue and the frequently bad cosmetic results make all indications appear doubtful. For these reasons subcutaneous mastectomy should be abandoned and simple mastectomy with immediate reconstruction is to be preferred for the following conditions: (1) Diffuse, painful, simple mastopathy that has been repeatedly biopsied; (2) Non-invasive carcinoma, either intra-duct or in situ.
