Abstract

Breast cancer surgery is a common procedure that required specialized care in the operation theatre. As a nurse in the theatre, it is important to understand the surgical steps involved and the critical role you play in supporting the surgical team. This includes assisting with patient positioning, skin preparation, anesthesia administration, incision, dissection, haemostasis, drain placement, closure, and post-operative care. By providing expert nursing care, you can help ensure a safe and successful procedure, as well as optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction.
