Oncology surgery and Plastic surgery combines to offer many women an alternative to
traditional Mastectomy and Lumpectomy.
Cancers in segments of the breast, often along the milk ducts, are often leading to surgical
treatment that leaves the patient with a less than desirable esthetic result. Generally, plastic
surgeons have different goals than oncology surgeons. By combining the two specialties, the
patient benefits from the best of both surgeries in ONE surgery.
Most often patients, having undergone oncoplastic surgery, only have to revisit to complete
their breast reconstruction by adding minor cosmetic touches, such as a nipple.
Oncoplastic surgery means avoiding an expander, so a second surgery to remove the expander and
add the final implant is not needed thus reducing the overall collateral damage to nerves and tissue.
Also, recovering after breast cancer surgery is less traumatic with a reconstructed breast.
Recurrance, survival and disease-free survival rates after oncoplastic surgery are comparable to
traditional breast cancer surgery.
