Comparison of Outcomes of Standard and Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine and to compare the oncological outcomes of bilateral reduction mammoplasty to standard breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. METHODS One hundred sixty-two patients who received a quadrantectomy because of breast cancer (group 1) and 106 breast cancer patients with macromastia who underwent breast-conserving surgery via bilateral reduction m...

Abstract: Oncoplastic Volume Replacement Using Local Perforator Flaps

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 days (40–1083). There were a number of surgical indications: malignancy (n=25), risk reduction (n=40), revision (n=32) and delayed reconstruction (n=8). Incision type varied; wise pattern (32), IMF (48) and transverse/vertical (20). Mean mastectomy weight was 473g (73–1679), and median implant volume: 409cc (165–620). Length of stay was 0.96 days. Four patients experien...

Oncoplastic Breast Volume Replacement with the Use of Lateral Intercostal Artery Perforator Flaps

Usefulness of Oncoplastic Volume Replacement Techniques after Breast Conserving Surgery in Small to Moderate-sized Breasts

BACKGROUND In Korean women, many of whom have small to moderate-sized breasts, it is difficult to cover a partial breast defect using oncoplastic volume displacement techniques after removal of an adequate volume of tissue during oncologic surgery. In such cases, oncoplastic volume replacement techniques are more useful. METHODS From January 2007 to December 2011, 104 women underwent a total ...

In fact, this is not the case; the only real problem is ensuring that the breast is preserved with a “normal” form following breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. As with more peripheral tumours, central tumours may also benefi t from breast-conserving surgery. Several tec...
