Question

which term means \surgical repair of the breast\?
mastectomy
mammoplasty
dermatoplasty
myomectomy

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Mastectomy: Surgical removal of the breast (not repair).
• Mammoplasty: "Mammo-" refers to breast, "plasty" means surgical repair/reconstruction. So this matches "surgical repair of the breast".
• Dermatoplasty: "Dermato-" refers to skin, so it's skin repair (not breast).
• Myomectomy: "Myo-" refers to muscle, so it's muscle - related surgery (not breast).

Answer:

B. mammoplasty
