Several victims spoke to the BBC about the treatment they received from Ian Paterson.
Frances Perks lost her mother and sister to breast cancer, so when a lump showed up on a mammogram when she was 35, she was referred to Paterson. During one consultation, he urged her to have a double mastectomy or risk "full-blown cancer".
Image source, Gavin DicksonShe had her left breast removed and underwent eight other operations at the private Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull, West Midlands.
However, she later learned that none had been necessary.
The effect on her life has been devastating. She had to give up her job because of the stress, leading to her losing her home.
Defending, Nicholas Johnson, says he agrees with the parameters as set out by prosecution.
There is no pre-sentence report, his evidence has been heard, he adds.
The judge, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker, says he will rise before sentencing.
His decision is due at 11.30.
The prosecution says the court needs to consider compensation to the victims, but that's in straightforward cases and this isn't.
Paterson has benefited financially, so there’s scope for confiscation proceedings under the 1988 act.
Paterson is paying close attention to these details.
However, there are civil proceedings seeking compensation and costs shouldn't be made because it will deplete the assets available for compensation.

Mr Ingram is telling the court of the physical effects of Ian Paterson's treatment. His loss of nipples and continued pain.
"Psychologically I was positive after the surgery because he told me he’d saved me from breast cancer, and thought I was cured.
"During the recall I was told the surgery had been unnecessary, initially thought it was just a difference of opinion, but then it became clear Paterson had deceived and manipulated me."
Paterson shakes his head.
"I needed two years of further treatment. I was a lot sicker than I needed to be for a lot longer because of Paterson."
