Bone sarcomas can undergo surgical resection with limb salvage surgery i.e. no need for amputation of the limb. This procedure involves resection of the part of the bone with a tumor with a replacement of the resected bone with a modular prosthesis. Replacement with prosthesis allows preservation of the limb with normal mobility at the affected joint.

The treatment of breast cancer requires a multimodality approach with strict adherence to the protocol of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the correct sequence according to the stage of disease. Oligometastastatic breast cancer may be cured with aggressive local treatment followed by systemic therapy (chemotherapy + targeted therapy + hormone therapy).

Microvascular Flap Reconstruction is now a necessary component of post maxillectomy defects. We present a case of Maxillary Osteoma treated by Total Infrastructure Maxilectomy with Microvascular ALT flap.

Reconstruction of Oral Cavity is an important component of oral cancer surgery. Reconstruction does not mean simply closure of oral defect. Reconstruction is needed to restore functional and aesthetic loss in oral cavity. Currently Microvascular Reconstruction is the GOLD STANDARD for oral reconstruction.

Breast conservation surgery is currently the standard of care for treatment of early breast cancer with equivalent local controls and overall survival comparable to those with mastectomy. Most women with small breast lumps, therefore do not need to undergo mastectomy, i.e. complete removal of breast resulting in better cosmetic and psychological outcomes.

A 54 year old post menopausal lady presented with a small 1.5 cm size suspicious lesion in breast on routine screening mammography. US guided FNAC was suggestive of papillary neoplasm. The lesion was small and deep seated and could not be felt on breast examination. On the day of surgery a radiopaque wire was placed in the centre of the lesion under ultrasound guidance. The patient was next shifted to operation theatre and under general anaesthesia.
