Background And Objectives: We investigated the effects of oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (BCS) using chest wall perforator flaps (CWPFs) on the subsequent expected deformity and evaluated the longevity of flap volume.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed oncological and cosmetic outcomes of 33 women who had undergone the above procedure. We calculated the percentage of breast volume excised (PBVE) from computed tomography volumetry and compared it between a historical BCS alone and the study (flap) group.
