Breast surgery encompasses operative procedures performed on the breast for medical or reconstructive reasons. It includes operations to treat breast cancer and other breast disease, procedures to reconstruct or restore the breast after tissue removal, and surgery to correct deformity or address symptoms arising from breast conditions. Planning breast surgery involves balancing disease control, function, appearance, and recovery, and care extends beyond the operation itself to managing complications and supporting patients afterward. Research collected on this journal reflects these connected aspects of breast surgery and breast care. Work includes the management of pain following breast surgery such as mastectomy, the prevention and management of surgical site infections that can complicate breast operations, and studies addressing the wider experience of breast cancer patients, including mental health and the identification of risk factors. Reconstructive techniques, such as the use of three-dimensionally printed chest wall prostheses, further illustrate how operative methods on the chest and breast region continue to develop. As a topic centered on operative treatment of the breast, breast surgery falls within the scope of surgical techniques research. The page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to breast surgery and perioperative care.
