Abstract

Surgery for early breast cancer has evolved from the mutilating radical mastectomies to breast conservation surgery (BCS) aimed to reduce the disfigurement associated with surgery. In breast conservation surgery, where the surgeon has to excise >20% of the breast volume, the cosmetic outcomes are less than optimal. Oncoplastic surgery (OPS) combines techniques used in plastic surgery with the oncology principle of resecting the tumour with adequate margins and aims to reconstruct the breast defect taking into consideration both oncologic safety and preservation of breast form. In this chapter, a review of the rationale behind oncoplastic surgery, indications and techniques and the emerging clinical data on outcomes are discussed.
