Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review analyzes complication rates in bilateral (BL) versus unilateral (UL) deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstructions, noting that prior studies indicated higher complications for BL procedures.
- - The analysis included five studies with a total of 5,120 patients, revealing that BL reconstructions have a 48% higher risk of total flap loss (OR 1.48) but a lower risk of needing reexploration surgery (OR 0.68).
- - Despite the increased risk of flap loss in BL reconstructions, the overall benefits make it a recommended choice for women undergoing breast reconstruction.
Background/aim: Breast-conserving surgery is the preferred treatment for early-stage breast cancer but can often result in unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Oncoplastic surgery aims to improve both oncologic and aesthetic outcomes by combining local excision with plastic surgery techniques. Using breast reduction techniques in breast cancer treatment has been shown to allow for wider margins of excision, leading to enhanced oncological safety and reduced recurrence rates without causing significant asymmetry.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery is the standard of care for early-stage breast cancer but can often result in unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Oncoplastic surgery aims to address these issues by combining local excision with plastic surgery techniques to improve oncologic and esthetic outcomes. By incorporating breast reduction techniques into cancer surgery, wider margins of excision can be achieved, leading to enhanced oncological safety and reduced recurrence rates without causing significant asymmetry.
