Data on 26 patients with breast hypertrophy operated by the McKissock method are summarized.
The advantages of the method include the following: (a) simplicity in planning; (b) facility in teaching and execution; (c) safety; (d) applicability to a large variety of patients and: (e) uniformly satisfactory results. Two case reports are presented and the literature is reviewed.
