    Area of Science:

    • Plastic surgery
    • Oncology
    • Breast reconstruction

    Background:

    • Segmental breast resection for cancer can lead to significant cosmetic defects.
    • Nipple-areola complex displacement is a common complication after breast-conserving surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the rhomboid flap technique for breast reconstruction after segmental resection.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of the rhomboid flap in minimizing deformity and nipple displacement.

    Main Methods:

    • The study describes the surgical application of the rhomboid flap in patients undergoing segmental breast resection.
    • Detailed surgical steps and patient selection criteria are outlined.

    Main Results:

    • The rhomboid flap technique allows for the resection of large breast areas.
