| Abstract | Aesthetically unfavorbale results may occur in 15 to 20% after breast conserving therapy for breast carcinoma. With increasing experience, plastic reconstructive techniques were developed allowing reconstruction of even large parenchymal defects after segmentectomy or at unfavorable tumor sites with aesthetically dependable results. This has led to an expansion in the indication of breast conserving therapy. |
