Oncoplastic techniques extend the scope for breast conserving surgery by combining an extensive local excision with a simultaneous reconstruction of the defect to avoid local deformity. If less than 20% of the breast volume is excised a level I procedure is adequate and can be performed by breast surgeon without specific training in plastic surgery. For breast cancer is possible to fill the defect of the lower inner lumpectomy by splitting the upper inner quadrant.

- The study aims to validate the importance of the oncoplastic approach in modern breast-conserving surgery, specifically in a suburban hospital setting.
- The authors performed oncoplastic techniques in 60 cases, highlighting various conservative surgery methods and reshaping techniques, including upper, medial, and lower pedicle approaches.
- The conclusion underscores that breast surgeons should be well-versed in oncoplastic methods while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to provide personalized treatment, ensuring both oncological safety and optimal cosmetic outcomes for patients.
Aim: The aim of this paper is evaluate the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose in order to control breast symmetry, shape and volume reducing skin retraction after wide excision for the treatment of early breast cancer.
Material Of Study: The Authors describe a new procedure using oxidized regenerated cellulose polymer after 8 resections for breast cancer and 1 total galactophore ducts resection for nipple discharge.
Discussion: Oncoplastic breast surgery allows a more radical local tumour excision achieving an acceptable cosmetic result.
