Halsted Radical Mastectomy, 1882

Illustration of the Halsted incision and final cut. In 1882 the American surgeon William Halsted first performed what would become known as the Halsted Mastectomy, which involves removal of the entire breast, area lymphatic tissue, and the pectoralis muscle. Halsted achieved a 5-year cure rate of 40% through a number of innovations: his aggressive approach to tissue removal, his use of the antiseptic techniques introduced by Joseph Lister, and his introduction of the use of rubber gloves.
