B. Risk-reducing mastectomy

D. Mastectomy with reconstruction
E. None of the above

Answer 1

The breast procedure performed to remove extensive benign disease is not one of the options listed. However, surgery may involve wide local excision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The breast procedure performed to remove extensive benign disease is not one of the options listed (A. Oncoplastic reduction, B. Risk-reducing mastectomy, C. Prophylactic mastectomy, D. Mastectomy with reconstruction, E. None of the above). None of these procedures are typically used to remove benign (non-cancerous) breast disease. However, if surgery is necessary to remove extensive benign disease, it may involve a procedure called wide local excision, which removes the lesion and a margin of normal tissue around it.
