Oncoplastic surgery is a specialized approach that combines oncologic (cancer) surgery with plastic surgery techniques to achieve optimal oncological outcomes while preserving or improving the cosmetic appearance of the breast. It is primarily used in the treatment of breast cancer.
The main goal of oncoplastic surgery is to remove the cancerous tissue from the breast while maintaining a satisfactory cosmetic result. This approach recognizes the importance of addressing both the oncological and aesthetic aspects of breast cancer treatment, considering the emotional and psychological well-being of the patient.
