Breast surgery

The book describes the entire modern breast surgery: Oncological interventions such as BET, oncoplastic surgery and all reconstructive procedures with implants and autologous tissue are presented at the cutting edge. The focus is on surgical techniques with which the authors themselves achieve good results. Oncological safety and aesthetics determine the approach to reconstruction.

The second section is devoted to common aesthetic breast surgery. All chapters are richly illustrated, drawings show the individual surgical steps.

The book is suitable for gynaecologists and plastic and aesthetic surgeons working in the field of senology.
