Oncoreconstruction
Oncoreconstruction, also known as oncoplastic surgery, is a specialized approach that combines oncologic (cancer) surgery with reconstructive techniques. The goal of oncoreconstruction is to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible and restoring the appearance and function of the affected area. This approach is particularly beneficial in treating breast cancer and other cancers where surgical removal of tissue may impact physical appearance and quality of life.
Aspects of Oncoreconstruction
Integrated Approach:
- Oncologic Surgery: Removing cancerous tumors or affected tissue with clear margins to ensure complete removal of cancer.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Immediately or subsequently restoring the shape, appearance, and function of the affected area using various reconstructive techniques.
Procedures:
- Breast Conservation Surgery: Also known as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy, where only the cancerous lump and surrounding tissue are removed, preserving the breast as much as possible.
- Oncoplastic Techniques: Combining tumor removal with plastic surgery techniques to reshape and reconstruct the breast for optimal cosmetic outcomes.
- Immediate Breast Reconstruction: Performing breast reconstruction during the same surgery as the tumor removal (mastectomy), minimizing the need for additional procedures and preserving breast contour.
Recovery and Rehabilitation:
- Postoperative Care: Monitoring for complications and ensuring proper healing of surgical incisions.
- Rehabilitation Services: Physical therapy and support services to aid recovery and restore function as needed.
Benefits
- Improved Aesthetic Outcomes: Preserves the natural appearance of the breast or affected area, reducing the psychological impact of cancer surgery.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Minimizes the need for multiple surgeries and reduces physical and emotional stress associated with cancer treatment.
- Functional Restoration: Restores function and symmetry to the affected area, facilitating recovery and rehabilitation.
