Done At The Same Time As Mastectomy

This phrase means something is done during the same surgery as a mastectomy, which is the removal of a breast. For example, breast reconstruction can be done "at the same time as mastectomy," meaning it's part of the same operation. It allows a patient to wake up with a reconstructed breast immediately after the mastectomy.
