PROCEDURE IN DETAIL
This patient was brought to the operative suite, placed supine on the operating table.  After adequate general anesthesia had been achieved, the right breast was prepped and draped in usual sterile fashion.  Then, using a #15 blade, an elliptical incision was made around the sebaceous cyst.  The incision measured approximately 3 x 5 cm.  Once this was completed, the cyst was excised using cautery and then the wound was inspected for any bleeding and any points of bleeding were coagulated with the Bovie.  Then, the skin incision was then closed with 3-0 nylon suture in an interrupted vertical mattress fashion.  Sterile dressing was applied.  The needle, sponge, instrument counts were correct at the end of the case.  The patient tolerated the procedure well and transferred to the PACU in stable condition.
