“…Current trends in breast conserving surgery focus on tumor resection combined with a reconstructive procedure [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. This so-called oncoplastic surgery avoids tissue defects without compromising the oncological outcome and results in an improved breast shape and regains immediate symmetry when both breasts are operated [4,11,13,16].…”

“…Tissue defects following BCS can be reconstructed immediately after resection of the tumor using autologous musculocutaneous flaps [4,16] or local breast tissue flaps [11,13,17]. Whereas large defects in small breasts are better treated by mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, tumors in large volume breasts or ptotic breasts may be treated by quadrantectomy combined with reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy [12,13,15].…”

“…In some very large tumours, the lower triangle may be smaller than the resulting defect. In two such cases, geometric compensation mammaplasty had to be performed in conjunction with a plug flap, a technique in which a skin island within the inferior pedicle is preserved and moved to the upper pole to compensate for the lack of tissue 11 (Figures 10 and 11).…”
