Background The goal of modern breast surgery is to cure patients with preservation of breast tissue as much as possible with satisfactory physical and psychological outcome. This goal has led to introduction of a new scope of surgery into our clinical practice called oncoplastic breast surgery, with the advantage of combining oncological safety and satisfactory cosmetic outcome. Objective To focus on skin sparing mastectomy as a surgical procedure for treatment of breast cancer and to assess outcomes and benefits versus complications. Patients and Methods It was a retrospective analytical study that included 30 patients aiming to clinically assess the skin sparing mastectomy as an oncoplastic technique regarding oncological safety and patient satisfaction. This study was conducted at Ain-Shams University Hospitals. Approval of the Ethical Committee and written informed consent from all participants was obtained. Results In our study 6 patients underwent SSM and 24 Patients underwent NSM owing to high tumor/breast volume ratio. In our study we were able to conduct an very good cosmetic outcome for a relatively large tumor excisions with 66.7% of the cases (20 patients) falling in excellent and very good score. In our study only one of the patients had malignant recurrence as confirmed by the pathologist in our multidisciplinary team proving that we had performed skin sparring mastectomy technique safely from oncological point of view. The follow up of the malignant recurrence was for the first year as this was the time limitation of our study. Conclusion Skin sparing mastectomy has been proven as an alternate to traditional radical mastectomy with the same oncological safety and better cosmetic outcome.
