Oncoplastic breast surgery involves immediate reshaping of the breast after tumor excision. It enables wider excision of the tumor while maintaining a satisfactory cosmetic outcome. One hundred and thirty seven patients underwent oncoplastic breast surgery at our institute between June 2019 and December 2021. The procedure performed was decided based on the location of tumor and volume of excision. All patient and tumor characteristics were entered into an online database. The median age was 51 years. The mean tumor size was 3.666 cm (± 0.2512). Twenty-seven patients underwent a type I oncoplasty, 89 patients type 2 oncoplasty, and 21 patients a replacement procedure. Only 5 patients had margin positivity out of which 4 patients underwent a re-wide excision with negative margins. Oncoplastic breast surgery is a safe and effective method to manage patients who need conservative surgery of breast tumors. It allows us to provide good esthetic outcome to the patients ultimately aiding in better emotional and sexual well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
