LEAVING tissue behind during a mastectomy would be "crazy", jailed surgeon Ian Paterson told a hearing into the death of one of his patients.
The former consultant, who is serving a 20-year sentence for wounding 10 patients, spoke yesterday at the inquest of Elaine Turbill.
Ms Turbill's breast cancer returned in 2017-12 years after Paterson carried out an unauthorised operation on her. He performed a "cleavagesparing" mastectomy [CSM] - which left breast tissue for cosmetic reasons but increased the risk of cancer returning on Ms Turbill, 63, and other patients.
