Intraoperative Ultrasound-Guided Conserving Surgery for Breast Cancer: No More Time for Blind Surgery.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) still remains a blind surgery despite all available tumor localization methods. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) allows real-time visualization during all resection phases.

Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted at the Veneto Institute of Oncology between January 2021 and June 2022.

Avoiding post mastectomy lateral "Dog Ears" by an L incision and lipoaspiration: The Paris Breast Center technique.

Background: Lateral dog ear after mastectomy in overweight or large breasted patients is a source for patient discomfort and is aesthetically unpleasing. Although many different techniques have been proposed, none of them have emerged as standard. In 2012, the authors published their mastectomy technique based on an inverted L-scar incision and closure with a lateral skin flap advanced supero-medially onto the chest wall.
