Oncoplastic Surgery

Overview

Oncoplastic surgery is an essential component of all breast cancer procedures. The utilization of an aesthetic approach for breast conservation or mastectomy expands the number of options available for women with breast cancer, cyst or other benign breast diseases. It should be the accepted standard of care. Although various operational procedures are documented, an organized strategy to identifying acceptable approaches is required.

The goal of an oncoplastic treatment is to minimize aesthetic harm to the breast by removing surgical cavities that cause distortion; hence, the words parenchymal redistribution or parenchymal replacement have been employed.
