[Oncoplastic approach in breast cancer surgery--a new challenge for the future breast surgeon?].
The future challenge of breast surgery, the so-called oncoplastic approach is reviewed in this article. The authors discuss the most frequently applied surgical techniques as well as their indications. Medline and pubmed search was carried out using the following keywords and cross-references: "oncoplastic breast surgery", "breast reconstruction", "breast conserving surgery" and "reduction mammoplasty". ⋯ Finally, carrying out free flap reconstructions after mastectomy should be assigned exclusively to plastic surgeons qualified in microsurgical techniques, and not to surgical oncologists. As conclusions oncoplastic approach will be an integral element of the surgical treatment of breast cancer in the future. Breast oncoplastic training is an interdisciplinary task, which combines surgical oncological management of breast cancers with aesthetic/reconstructive breast surgery.
