Partial Breast Reconstuction : Techniques in Oncoplastic Surgery 1DVD

Partial Breast Reconstruction is a groundbreaking work in reconstructive surgery edited and written by international
leaders in this field. It presents the latest reconstructive techniques for breast cancer patients who have breast
conserving surgery (BCT) where the primary treatment is partial mastectomy and radiation therapy. With the 뱋ncoplastic
approach?women are now able to preserve their breasts while still maintaining a breast that is aesthetic, symmetric,
and well shaped.

Today, breast conserving therapy has become the standard of care for many women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Unfortunately, the incidence of poor cosmetic results is relatively high with standard BCT. This book provides surgeons
with the techniques needed to improve aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncologic standards. It focuses on three
critical areas: 1) improving the breast resection to ensure the most aesthetic outcome, 2) preventing a deformity with
partial breast reconstruction when a poor cosmetic outcome is anticipated, and 3) correcting a post-radiation deformity
when it occurs.

A Timely Topic
The oncoplastic approach is the wave of the future. It is imperative for reconstructive surgeons to learn oncoplastic
techniques so that they can broaden their practices and take care of this growing population of patients with BCT
deformities. This comprehensive book will provide you with the clinical information and guidance that you need to
incorporate this approach into your practice

Total Coverage
This beautifully illustrated semi-atlas provides complete coverage of this topic in 31 comprehensive chapters divided
into 5 parts. Part I includes key chapters on oncoplastic surgery basics and incorporating oncoplastic surgery into
your practice. Part II includes chapters on applied anatomy, decision making, improving the partial mastectomy and
quadrantectomy defects, and radiotherapy after oncoplastic surgery. Part III: Immediate Partial Breast Reconstruction
and Part IV: Correction of the BCT Deformity with Delayed Partial Breast Reconstruction are the largest sections of the
book. Chapters in these sections provide step-by-step details for the range of oncoplastic techniques. One DVD
containing operative video complement the text.
