About

 Mr Emanuele Garreffa is a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast
Surgeon based at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, where he is also the
Programme Director of the BRESO international fellowship programme, which
attracts international surgeons coming to the UK to train in breast surgical
oncology and oncoplastic breast surgery under his supervision. 

Mr Garreffa completed his specialist breast surgery training
in Italy, complemented by two fellowships in Derby and Cambridge where he
gained further experience in the most advanced oncoplastic breast-preserving
operations as well as reconstructive procedures.  He is a fellow of the Royal College of
Surgeons of England and of the European Board of Surgery and in 2021 was
awarded the European Certification in Breast Surgical Oncology, making one of
the few BRESO certified surgeons in the UK. 

Mr Garreffa is an active member of several scientific
societies such as the Association of Breast Surgeons (ABS), the European
Society of Breast Specialists (EUSOMA), the Oncoplastic Breast Consortium (OPBC)
and the European Society of surgical Oncology (ESSO). He is also the UK
national representative of the ESSO Young Surgeons and Alumni Club (EYSAC),
where he is actively involved in organising training courses and improve access
to surgical training and knowledge across Europe. 

Mr Garreffa treats all aspects of breast disease, benign or
cancerous, and patients with a family history of breast cancer. He utilises the
latest oncoplastic techniques such as therapeutic mammoplasty / mastopexy,
partial breast reconstruction with chest wall perforator flaps (such as LTAP
and LiCAP), full breast reconstruction with implant, LD muscle flap or chest
wall perforator flaps, and lipofilling techniques. 

Mr Garreffa has published several research works on
oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery. One of his main interests is to
increase the collaboration between surgeons and oncologist in order to improve
the quality of the radiation treatment following complex surgical procedures. 

Other specialist interests include Screen-detected breast
cancer, newer localisation techniques, patients with family history of breast
cancer & risk-reducing surgery, benign breast conditions including all
symptoms affecting women of all ages.

Explanation

Mr Garreffa was incrediby professional and made every effort to ensure everything was explained clearly and I was comfortable. I really appreciated it as I think naturally one feels awkward in these situations but his professional, friendly manner put my mind at ease somewhat. Also I'd say he was thorough so I left feeling I'd received all possible examination and treatment which is giving further peace of mind.

Explanation

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was told the only treatment was a mastectomy . But then I was allocated to Mr Garreffa. A lovely caring man, a leader in his field, who listened to my wishes and thought outside the box to make it happen for me. It was clear how much he cared about me and the result I wanted. He explained everything throughout the treatment. All the risks and potential extra surgery that could be needed if the risk didn't pay off. I was lucky, it worked. This is entirely down to Mr Garreffa's skill and his amazing team. A mastectomy was avoided and I couldn't be happier with the results. Throughout my treatment I was well informed and treated with so much care. I am incredibly grateful to the whole team. I was so lucky to be looked after by them. They really go above and beyond. Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and making me feel so safe thought the treatment.
