RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Breast-conserving surgery and skin-sparing mastectomy are nowadays widely accepted as the standard of care in selected patients with early breast cancer. After an accurate review of the literature, it appeared that no ordered list of the numerous techniques described for conservative breast surgery has been established so far. The aim of this study was to develop a simple classification of the different skin incision patterns that may be used in breast surgery. METHODS: A systematic review of the English literature was conducted using the PubMed database to identify all the articles reporting breast-conserving surgery and skin-sparring mastectomy techniques up to the 31st of December 2016. RESULTS: Among the 1426 titles identified, 230 were selected for review. Based on the reviewed papers, the skin-reducing oncoplasty incision pattern (SROIP) classification was elaborated. CONCLUSIONS: Breast cancer surgery should nowadays optimise aesthetic outcomes by improving the final breast shape, volume and scar location. This may be achieved using different procedures that we grouped together under the term skin-reducing oncoplasty (SRO). Depending on the breast cancer location, the SROIP classification helps in the choice of the best technique to be used.

Oncoplastic surgery is to treat breast tumors with the help of plastic surgery. Efficiency of breast-conserving treatments (BCT) compared to mastectomies is equivalent. BCT is better accepted but can cause breast deformity, thus further operations. Oncoplastic surgery aims at conserving an acceptable shape to the breast. It ranges from simple remodeling to more complex techniques modifying the width of the breast. According to the quadrant to treat (inner upper, outer upper, inner lower, outer lower, union of quadrants, tumors of the nipple-areola complex, tumors of the inframammary fold), according to the proximity of the tumor to the nipple, and to the size of the breast and tumor, various techniques are displayed. Few touch ups are necessary. Symmetry is managed during the initial operation or after.
