I have a new oncology account. All the docs say bilateral mastectomy. Shouldn't this be bilateral mastectomies?

Only one mastectomy is being performed each on the right and left side. The same thing for bilateral tubal ligation, you would not put bilateral tubal ligations. If a person had four breasts and two were being removed from each side, then it would be bilateral mastectomies!

"Overall, the patient is doing fairly well, but she is a little bit overwhelmed by the fact that she had residual cancer at the time of her lumpectomy and _____ mastectomy."
It sounds like either "her cardiomastectomy" or "recardid mastectomy"...neither one makes sense though! lol.
Any thoughts??? Thanks!

In medicine, mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.
Bilateral means both and mastectomy is one or two. Do not need mastectomies even though the doc is saying it.
