[Breast oncoplastic surgery]

Oncoplastic surgery combines large lumpectomy and defect remodeling by different plastic surgery methods. These procedures improve the cosmetic result after partial mastectomy and widens the possibilities for conservative treatment. Different techniques are used from simple glandular remodeling to more difficult techniques for breast plasties with or without simultaneous controlateral symetrisation procedure. The surgical option depends especially on the ratio between the volume of the tumor and the volume of the breast and the position of the tumor. This more effective conservative treatment facilitates also postoperative radiotherapy, reduces the sequellae and the psychological impact of breast cancer treatment.
