Abstract

The development of oncoplastic surgery (OPS) is one of the greatest achievements for the treatment of breast cancer. OPS combines oncological resection with plastic surgery techniques in a single procedure to allow the excision of tumors without compromising cosmetic outcome. It allows better aesthetic-functional outcomes and consequently an improvement of the psychological aspects of patients with breast cancer.OPS begins with preoperative design considering breast volume, tumor size, and location and distance from nipple of the tumor, with clinical breast examination and image studies. Various techniques of volume replacement and volume displacement methods described here can help the decision-making process so the best results concerning the aesthetic-functional aspects can be achieved.The outcome measurement of the oncoplastic breast surgery consisted of local recurrence, cosmesis, and patients satisfaction. In OPS for breast cancer patients, aesthetic assessment could be performed by various methods. And questionnaires on quality of life can be applied as a scientific method to assess results. In this chapter, we introduced our results of assessment of both aesthetic and QOL outcomes in OPS patients.
