Abstract
BACKGROUND
Breast-conserving surgery is the standard of care for early-stage breast cancer but can often result in unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Oncoplastic surgery aims to address these issues by combining local excision with plastic surgery techniques to improve oncologic and esthetic outcomes. By incorporating breast reduction techniques into cancer surgery, wider margins of excision can be achieved, leading to enhanced oncological safety and reduced recurrence rates without causing significant asymmetry. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to provide an updated understanding of the surgical outcomes associated with oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty.
METHODS
A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Articles reporting post-operative outcomes following the oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty were included. A proportional meta-analysis of post-operative complications was performed to obtain their proportions and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs).
RESULTS
Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria, representing a total of 2711 oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty procedures in 2680 patients. The overall complication rate was 20% (95% CI: 15-25%). The positive margin rate following oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty was 11% (95% CI: 6-17%). The re-excision rate was 6% (95% CI: 3-12%). The completion mastectomy rate was 3% (95% CI: 2-6%).
CONCLUSIONS
Oncoplastic reduction mammoplasty is a safe and effective alternative to mastectomy and traditional breast-conserving surgery in the treatment of early-stage breast cancers.
