BACKGROUND Breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer was developed as a method to preserve healthy breast tissue, thereby improving cosmetic outcomes. Thus far, the primary aim of breast-conserving surgery has been the achievement of tumour-free resection margins and prevention of local recurrence, whereas the cosmetic outcome has been considered less important. Large studies have reported po...

desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. it has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. we presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic ...

Background: Women diagnosed with early breast cancer (stage I or II) can be offered the choice between mastectomy or breast conservation surgery with radiotherapy due to equivalence in survival rates. A wide variation in the surgical management of breast cancer and a lack of theoretically guided research on this issue highlight the need for further research into the factors influencing women’s ...

For some women the possibility of breast augmentation means a relief from suffering. This is true of reconstructive surgery after mastectomy or after childbirth. In some cases implants may help women who suffer mentally from being “flat-chested”. However, the majority of recent breast augmentation surgery can not be said to fall under these categories for they mostly serve the purpose of boosti...

Abstract Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a relatively uncommon inflammatory skin disorder which characterized by rapid onset, ulcerative lesions, and often triggered trauma or surgery. Although rare, PG of the breast has been well described in Plastic Surgery literature, most reported following reductions reconstructions. The authors present case developed 56-year-old patient, with history essenti...

Capsular contraction following implantation of breast prostheses occurs in 2-33% of patients undergoing breast augmentation. This condition can be debilitating for patients, and often requires revisional surgery. The aetiology of capsular contraction is unclear, but may be due to infection, haematoma or foreign body-type reactions.Methylene blue dye is a substance known to cause localised tissu...

Introduction: In the treatment of breast cancer, breast conserving surgery (BCS) and whole breast irradiation is a usual technique. The influence of lumpectomy boost following breast radiotherapy is apparent, but there are different delivery methods. This work intended to compare the dosimetric parameters of electron beams and photon beams for boosting irradiation in breast can...

Background: Breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard operation for early breast cancer. This operation has been performed under local anesthesia for patients that would like short-term admission or for those not indicated for general anesthesia due to complications. This report presents the outcomes of breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node bio...

Background: Breast conserving surgery is the treatment of choice in surgical management early-stage breast cancer developed countries, while mastectomy has remained most practiced developing countries. The aim study was to describe outcomes a cohort patients who had country. Methods: retrospective review were offered between January 2018 and December 2020 at Jos University Teaching Hospital FOM...

To examine the feasibility of using carbon nanoparticles to track nonpalpable breast cancer for breast-conserving surgery. During breast-conserving surgery, it is often very challenging to determine the boundary of tumor and identify involved lymph nodes. Currently used methods are useful in identifying tumor location, but do not provide direct visual guidance for resection margin during surger...
