Trends and Perspectives in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery: Findings From a Web-Based Survey With the Korean Breast Cancer Society.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeOncoplastic breast surgery (OPS) is a crucial component of breast cancer surgery that combines oncological safety with improved cosmetic outcomes. OPS is increasingly being adopted worldwide, although the techniques and concepts vary based on patient demographics and surgeons' expertise. This study aimed to evaluate the evolving OPS concept among Korean breast surgeons and assess the current trends in OPS techniques.
methodsA web-based survey was conducted among members of the Korean Breast Cancer Society and Korean Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Study Group. The questionnaire included seven questions that explored opinions on the scope and practical trends of OPS. Respondents were stratified according to hospital type, position, and age. Data were analyzed to identify trends and differences based on demographic factors.
resultsA total of 122 surgeons responded, with a majority (78.7%) working in academic or tertiary hospitals. Most respondents (77.9%) considered OPS to include volume displacement/replacement and implant-based reconstruction, regardless of the resection volume. In addition, 70.5% agreed that robotic or endoscopic surgery fell within the scope of the OPS. Autologous reconstruction after a partial mastectomy is preferred for achieving excellent cosmetic results, particularly among younger surgeons. Notably, 59.0% of the surgeons reported using single- and dual-surgeon strategies.
conclusionOPS is widely practiced among Korean breast surgeons, with the increasing adoption of advanced techniques such as robotic-assisted and endoscopic surgery. Although preferences differ with the surgeon's age, the concept of OPS has expanded considerably, and a multidisciplinary approach remains critical. Understanding these trends is essential to optimize patient care and improve surgical training programs.
