Atlas of Breast Surgery

Abstract

Atlas of Breast Surgery is a comprehensive surgical reference that illustrates and explains modern techniques in the diagnosis and operative management of breast diseases, both benign and malignant. The atlas integrates high-quality surgical imagery and illustrations with concise explanatory text to demonstrate key procedural steps and anatomical details, serving as both a practical guide and visual learning resource for surgeons. It covers the entire care pathway—from diagnostic evaluation and pre-operative planning through surgical intervention and reconstructive techniques—emphasizing approaches that achieve optimal oncologic control and cosmetic outcomes. In addition to traditional procedures such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, and axillary surgery, the book highlights advances in breast reconstruction and aesthetic considerations, reflecting the evolving role of breast surgery as both a science and an art. The second edition includes numerous new illustrations and updates to surgical techniques, reinforcing its value for general, plastic, and gynecologic surgeons as well as trainees seeking a clinically relevant and visually rich atlas of breast surgical practice.
