Safety and Aesthetic Outcomes of Breast Conserving Surgery With Peri-areolar Incision Approach

Cosmetic result after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) would impose great effect upon patient\'s quality of life. Although peri-areolar incision has been widely used in benign breast tumor excision, mastopexy procedures and skin-sparing mastectomy with primary reconstruction, the actual safety and aesthetic outcome of the peri-areolar incision approach in BCS for cancer patients has not been established by randomized, controlled trials. This trial was design to compare the Safety and aesthetic outcomes of breast conserving surgery between peri-areolar incision approach and traditional methods.
