Oncoplastic Breast Surgery (OPBS) aims to achieve oncological safety and improved aesthetic out-comes. The text discusses various OPBS techniques categorized into Level I and Level II based on the extent of breast tissue removal. Level I techniques focus on creating wide flaps around the tumor, while Level II techniques are specialized for different tumor locations within the breast quadrants. The text highlights specific OPBS methods such as Racket Mammoplasty, Batwing (Omega) Technique, Gri-sotti Mastopexy, Donut Mastopexy, Crescent Mastopexy, Central Quadrantectomy, S-Mammoplasty, V-Mammoplasty, and more, detailing their surgical procedures and implications according to locations of tumors. The comprehensive overview delves into the importance of meticulous patient selection, surgical planning, and adherence to OPBS principles rooted in patient safety and cosmetic outcomes. Moreover, the text explores the significance of achieving clear oncological margins while addressing patient preferences and tumor characteristics. Emphasis is placed on the impact of OPBS on resection margins, re-excision rates, local recurrence, oncologic outcomes, complications, and cosmetic results compared to standard breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy. The overall effectiveness of OPBS ensures the balance between oncological efficacy and aesthetic satisfaction in breast cancer patients, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for additional surgeries.
