| Summary: | Background and Aims:In Iceland, oncoplastic breast-conservation surgery has been performed since 2008. The aim of this population-based study was to assess and compare the efficacy and patient satisfaction of standard breast-conservation surgery with oncoplastic breast-conservation surgery.Materials and methods:This is a population-based, retrospective, observational cohort study on all women undergoing breast-conservation surgery in Iceland from the 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2014. A multivariate logistic regression and linear regression were performed to assess differences in outcomes and a patient satisfaction questionnaire was used to assess certain patient-related outcome measures.Results and conclusion:A total of 750 women underwent breast-conserving surgery, 665 had standard breast-conservation surgery and 85 oncoplastic breast-conservation surgery.
