THE STANDARDIZATON OF PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORDS FOR ONCOPLASTIC AND BREAST RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
Keywords:
Photography, breast, plastic surgery, mammoplastyAbstract
Medical photography is an important diagnostic logging tool, since it allows pre-and postoperative comparisons to be made and it disseminates knowledge to the scientific community. The evolution of digital imaging has made the use of cameras easier and has increased access to better quality equipment. Photography is an essential tool in dermatologists’ and plastic surgeons’ practices. Breast surgeons’ recent acquisition of oncoplastic surgical techniques, reconstructive and breast remodeling surgery has led to the need for photographic records in the area. This photographic registration reproduces reality with maximum details and relevant information, as it follows a standardized way of positioning, backgrounds and photographic angles. This study aims to recommend the most appropriate camera, conduct basic equipment adjustments and standardize photographic records of patients undergoing reconstructive and oncoplastic breast surgery. A literature review was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Scielo Brazil, PubMed and Google
