Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the volume replacement techniques for THE restoration of the gland in breast-conserving surgery. Different methods of how to use the locoregional tissue around the breast to fill the defects after tumor removal are presented and discussed. The techniques include skin-adipose-fascial flaps on the wide skin base—modifications of rotational, advanced and rhomboid flaps (lateral thoracic (subaxillary) flap, rotational advanced flap, and thoracoepigastrical advanced and rotational flaps). The use of pedicled perforator flaps (LTAP, LICAP, SEAP) are also presented and discussed.
