 Breast  surgery is the surgical treatment of breast diseases. Its fields of  application are particularly breast cancer therapy and the  plastic-reconstructive time that follows. Oncological surgery is one of  the most important stages of breast cancer therapy. The history of  breast interventions, known since ancient times, has been marked by  several moments coincident with the evolution of medical knowledge and  with some important discoveries in this field. After thousands of years,  this allowed for a type of intervention that, in the utmost respect for  physical integrity, offers women a concrete chance of healing. The  outcome of breast cancer surgery, with respect to cosmetic results,  loco-regional control, and prognostic information from nodal staging may  vary substantially. Optimal breast cancer care starts with a proper  surgical act, which can only be performed when optimal imaging and  preoperative diagnosis are available. Next, on the basis of all  perioperative findings, the right surgical procedure should be indicated  after multidisciplinary consultation and discussion, keeping the  objective of the final outcome in mind. The surgical act itself is best  performed by an experienced surgeon who has maintained their experience  after sufficient training. The outcome of the different procedures can  be measured according to simple criteria and prospective registration.
