Oncoplastic breast surgery is performed on all sites within a dedicated day surgery unit where the stability of regular anaesthetic, theatre and ward staff support allows for a very high day case rate for all procedures.
Alongside the Breast Unit is the internationally famous St Andrew’s Department of Plastic Surgery on the Broomfield site.

The breast surgeons perform their own implant and pedicled flap based reconstructions and the plastic surgeons perform up to 300 free flap reconstructions per annum for the local and regional breast units.
