TY - GEN AB - The book covers the concepts, techniques and strategies of oncoplastic breast surgery and reconstruction for breast cancer patients. It includes contemporary surgical procedures with step-by-step illustrations, pre-operative and post-operative considerations, pearls and pitfalls shared from the personal experiences and surgical practices of the individual authors. Experienced authors with diverse backgrounds and an in-depth understanding of the domains are involved in curating the content of the book. This book mainly focuses on practical tips and surgical techniques to reach a broad spectrum of surgeons practicing breast surgery from low and middle-income countries. It provides both the scientific basis and practical tips from experienced surgeons in the field. Breast cancer is an emerging major public health problem in low and middle-income countries. While the surgical approach to breast cancer has witnessed a major shift from mastectomy to breast conservation, oncoplasty and reconstruction in western countries, the field of breast surgery is still evolving in low and middle-income countries. Barriers to adopting newer surgical approaches include socio-cultural factors, disease-related factors, resource-related factors and availability of expertise. This book fills the gap and helps surgeons in low and middle-income countries in adapting contemporary breast surgical techniques into their day-to-day practice. This book will be relevant for surgical oncologists, breast and endocrine surgeons, general surgeons practicing breast surgery and plastic surgeons. Additionally, it will serve as a resource book for residents and fellows from general surgery, surgical oncology, breast surgery and plastic surgery streams. AU - Deo, S. V. S.
