Oncoplastic breast surgery versus conventional breast conserving surgery: a comparative retrospective study
In addition to conventional breast conserving surgery (BCS) oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) is an operation technique that strives simultaneously to increase oncological safety and patient's satisfaction. It is the combination of the best proven techniques in plastic surgery with surgery for breast cancer. In a growing number of indications, OBS overcomes the limit of conventional BCS by allowing larger resection volumes while avoiding deformities. The aim of our retrospective study (2012 2014) was to compare oncological outcomes of OBS versus BCS.
