Gail Lanter: Hello, thank you for visiting. Can I help you in any way?
Visitor: No, I just had a mastectomy and wanted to see if my scars are like other patients. I would like to know who, other than my surgeon, was involved in my surgery.
Gail Lanter: There are many types of scars according to the kind of mastectomy you required.
Visitor: I had a skin-sparing mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy. No nipple.
Gail Lanter: You could request your operative report from your surgeon and the intraoperative record from the hospital. Those list everyone involved in your surgery.
Visitor: Thank you. I will do that.
