BackgroundOncoplastic breast‐conserving surgery (OBCS) has gained increasing attention as a treatment option for early breast cancer patients, aiming to achieve the best possible breast symmetry with concomitant oncological safety. This paper aims to systematically review the current literature on patient quality of life (QoL) after OBCS compared with QoL after breast‐conserving surgery (BCS) alone.MethodsMEDLINE via Ovid, CINAHL via EBSCO and PsycINFO via OvidSP were searched to retrieve all relevant studies. The reference lists of identified eligible studies were manually examined to search for additional eligible studies. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme.ResultsA total of six articles met the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies used validated patient‐reported outcome measures for assessing QoL with good response rates. However, only one study was of sufficiently good quality to provide good evidence (P < 0.05) in favour of OBCS, while the remainder were of low to moderate quality with differences in outcomes that were not statistically significant.ConclusionThe review found that the current evide
