The functional operations the Pateus modified radical mastectomies were widely used in the surgical treatment of the mammary gland cancer in recent years. In contrast to the widespread Kholsteds mastectomy the major pectoralis muscle is preserved. The original access to the subclavicular lymph nodes through the bifid musculus pectoralis major ensuring radicalism of the subclavicular lymphatic dissection as well as retention of the anatomic and functional full value of the musculus pectoralis major is suggested.
