Oncoplastic breast reconstruction seeks to address partial mastectomy defects in the setting of breast-conserving surgery to achieve superior aesthetic outcomes with comparable oncologic safety compared with traditional breast conservation surgery. As such, oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery has grown in popularity in recent years. Several techniques have been used to displace the volume with the remaining breast tissue or replace it with local soft-tissue options, with decision-making guided by patient and tumor characteristics, additional treatment requirements, patient preference, and available tissue resources. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of considerations in oncoplastic breast reconstruction with a focus on techniques and tips to achieve optimal outcomes.

Clinical and patient-reported outcomes in women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy: ANTHEM multicentre prospective cohort study.

Background: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery may be a better option than mastectomy, but high-quality comparative evidence is lacking. The aim of the ANTHEM study (ISRCTN18238549) was to explore clinical and patient-reported outcomes in a multicentre cohort of women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy with or without immediate breast reconstruction.

Methods: Women with invasive/pre-invasive breast cancer who were offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery with volume replacement or displacement techniques to avoid mastectomy were recruited prospectively.

Background: Oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer patients poses the challenge of achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes without increasing the risk of complications. Omental flap has emerged as n reconstructive option in breast surgery, yet the efficacy and safety of large omental flaps remain uncertain. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and cosmetic outcomes of large omental flap breast reconstruction, providing updated evidence for clinical practice.

Trichilemmal cysts, also known as pilar cysts, are commonly found on hair-bearing surfaces, such as the scalp or hairline. These are cysts that form from hair follicles and are benign. We describe an unusual case of a middle-aged lady presenting with a longstanding left-sided inframammary mass that had started growing more in the last year prior to the presentation.

Background: Local flaps for breast reconstruction are becoming recognized as a viable alternative to remote flaps.

Objectives: The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the anatomy and clinical outcomes using the internal mammary artery perforators and the lateral intercostal artery perforator flaps for breast reconstruction.

Methods: Twelve cadaveric specimens were injected with colored latex and dissected to demonstrate the medial perforators of the 5th intercostal space.

Background: Few studies have been conducted on direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction failure, and consistent conclusions are lacking. Thus, this study aimed to comprehensively analyze the risk factors of reconstruction failure.

Methods: Patients who underwent DTI breast reconstruction after mastectomy at a single center between July 18, 2014, and January 13, 2020, were retrospectively included in this study.
