Combining Multiple Oncoplastic Techniques to Facilitate Extreme Oncoplastic Breast Conservation.

ABSTRACT: Centers of excellence strive for high rates of breast conservation surgery. Given the increased patient satisfaction, evidence for improved survival, decreased rates of complications, reduced costs, and fewer surgical procedures compared to mastectomy and reconstruction, this makes sense. As such, surgeons have devised approaches to offer breast conservation to patients with more extensive disease that would have been classically recommended to undergo mastectomy. These ambitious attempts at breast conservation are supported by recent studies that have established their oncological safety. "Extreme oncoplasty" refers to Wise-pattern volume displacement surgery where the breast is immediately reconstructed after a multifocal or multicentric breast cancer is excised.
