The book covers the concepts, techniques and strategies of oncoplastic breast surgery and reconstruction for breast cancer patients. It includes contemporary surgical procedures with step-by-step illustrations, pre-operative and post-operative considerations, pearls and pitfalls shared from the personal experiences and surgical practices of the individual authors. Experienced authors with diverse backgrounds and an in-depth understanding of the domains are involved in curating the content of the book. This book mainly focuses on practical tips and surgical techniques to reach a broad spectrum of surgeons practicing breast surgery from low and middle-income countries. It provides both the scientific basis and practical tips from experienced surgeons in the field. Breast cancer is an emerging major public health problem in low and middle-income countries. While the surgical approach to breast cancer has witnessed a major shift from mastectomy to breast conservation, oncoplasty and reconstruction in western countries, the field of breast surgery is still evolving in low and middle-income countries. Barriers to adopting newer surgical approaches include socio-cultural factors, disease-related factors, resource-related factors and availability of expertise. This book fills the gap and helps surgeons in low and middle-income countries in adapting contemporary breast surgical techniques into their day-to-day practice. This book will be relevant for surgical oncologists, breast and endocrine surgeons, general surgeons practicing breast surgery and plastic surgeons. Additionally, it will serve as a resource book for residents and fellows from general surgery, surgical oncology, breast surgery and plastic surgery streams.

Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Management of the Breast, Third Edition provides a comprehensive and contemporary account of techniques in oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery. Uniquely, this book includes short, concise chapters containing only the most critical information. Many of the chapters are entitled "My Approach" and this enables the reader to gain an insight into the clinical practice of the world's breast disease experts. The true multidisciplinary nature of the book ensures that the perspectives of all members of the breast cancer team are included. This transfer of knowledge between disciplines leads to improved patient care and the integration of multidisciplinary treatment, thus providing an educational and practical multidisciplinary breast cancer book for practicing breast cancer doctors, and trainees worldwide.

This book demonstrates why oncoplastic and reconstructive surgery represents such an exciting tool for surgeons who undertake breast surgery. Fundamental principles and basic concepts are clearly outlined, and numerous techniques are presented by acknowledged experts from across the world. The emphasis is very much on a “how to do” approach, with detailed guidance and advice on the various techniques. The informative text is supported by a wealth of color illustrations, and accompanying videos of procedures can be accessed via the publisher’s website. This second edition of Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery has been completely revised and updated. More than 25 additional chapters have been included, and new videos of surgeries made available, with the aim of making this already very successful book truly comprehensive, and the most complete reference on the subject – a true classic. The new edition entails close collaboration between some of the most important centers for breast cancer treatment and research worldwide. It will be an ideal resource for surgical fellows and specialists wishing to learn about indications and the selection of patients, to master technical skills, and to manage complications effectively.

The initial idea to write a book on oncoplastic techniques was raised through a meeting on breast cancer treatment in Saalfelden, A- tria two years ago. Contrary to the rather minor role breast surgery is conceded today compared to other treatment modalities the s- geons role on the further outcome of the disease is crucial and never compensated by radiation or adjuvant therapy. Whereas surgery a decade ago was merely excision of the cancer and closure of the wound leaving behind a mutilated breast in many women, the advent of oncoplastic surgery completely changed the modern surgical approach to breast cancer. The concept of oncoplastic breast surgery combines oncologic - mor resection - either breast conservation or mastectomy - with t- ditional or less traditional plastic surgical techniques. The primary goal is to achieve an optimal cosmetic result with long time local tumor control. Some (non – randomized) studies available in patients following breast conservation oncoplastic surgery showed tumor resection to be associated with wider free margins, less patients needing re-operation surgery for involved or close margins, a widening of the indications for breast conser- tion surgery, a low complication rate and at least an equal local recurrence rate. There is no doubt that oncoplastic breast surgery experienced a r- id rise with more patients demanding this kind of surgery. However, a profound knowledge of the different oncoplastic techniques is - sential for the outcome.

In this issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery, guest editor Dr. Neil Tanna brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Breast Reconstruction.

Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This book covers an up-to-date review of advances in the management strategies for patients with breast cancer and their co-morbidities. Oncoplasty has become the standard of care for breast conservation surgery and can lead to improving aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, without compromising oncological outcomes. The goal of the text is to increase the competencies and performance of healthcare professionals involved in treating this patient population, which will ultimately improve the aesthetic outcomes, quality of life and overall survival of patients with breast disease and breast cancer. Written by experts in the field, chapters address a wide range of breast surgery techniques that help the general surgeon provide improved oncologic and aesthetic results for patients. The authors have detailed not only best practice for conventional procedures but also new and evolving techniques. Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Techniques for the General Surgeon serves as a valuable resource not only for medical students but also for the general surgeon seeking to improve results in private practice and for professors learning and teaching new breast surgery techniques.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer forms worldwide and has become the commonest cancer in women in most parts of the world. Surgery remains the single best treatment modality and globally, breast conservations are on the rise with increasing Oncoplastic techniques. Oncoplastic techniques have evolved over the last decade with the increasing use of pedicled flaps to enable partial breast reconstruction. This handy guide fills a gap in available publications to describe current trends, to help advance the knowledge and update skills of the reader. After an historical introduction, chapters on pre-operative mapping and imaging, as well as on patient selection for each approach, over eleven chapters are devoted to specific flaps and to their combination. The crucial management of complications and radiotherapy planning are also developed in dedicated parts. With contributions from world-renowned plastic and oncoplastic breast surgeons, step-by-step videos linked to the surgical chapters and a wealth of original photographs and illustrations, Pedicled Flaps in Partial Breast Reconstruction will be a valued reference for fellows, residents, practicing and highly experienced plastic surgeons, breast surgeons, and practitioners in related surgical sub-specialties, who will find this a useful tool in their day-to-day practice.
