How to Perform Operative Procedures in Breast Surgery

It covers each operation from indications and consent through pre-operative preparation, operative steps and post-operative care, with attention to both common and uncommon complications.

Oncoplastic concepts and techniques are explained to help improve outcomes, including lipofilling, perforator flaps and mammoplasty. The text also presents techniques and tips developed and practised by the authors over many years.

Written in short bullet points with clear anatomical diagrams, the book is designed for quick reading and retention. It is aimed at trainees and new consultants in breast surgery, and serves as a reference for established surgeons.
