De-escalation of complexity in oncoplastic breast surgery: Case series from a specialized breast center.

CONCLUSIONS: This study hypothesizes that a proper information may impact on patient's decisions and may reduce surgical complexity. This reduction likely has no effects on the main surgical outcomes estimated using standard tools. More investigations should be performed on a larger multi-institutional scale to confirm these conclusions.
