[Organ-saving operations in different localization of breast cancer].

Two methods of filling breast defects after radical resection for nodular cancer located in inner and low quadrants were developed allowing to perform axillary lymphadenectomy without additional axillary approach (patents No. 2125408 and No. 2127552). The methods are based on transposition of breast skin flaps. These methods have been used in 43 patients: in 31 women with T1-2N0 M0 stage, in 12 women T1-2N1-2M0, and with breast size B(2)--in 8, C(3)--in 30, D-E(4-5)--in 5 patients. Flap's marginal necrosis was in 3 patients only. Cosmetic results were excellent and good in 72.1% of operated patients.
