Pre-pectoral Breast Reconstruction With or Without Mesh
To explore the efficacy and safety that occur after immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction when TiLOOP Mesh is used compared to that when TiLOOP Mesh is not used.
Tissue Reinforcement for Breast Reconstruction (TRBR) Pivotal Clinical Study (REDEFINE)
The GORE Tissue Reinforcement for Breast Reconstruction (TRBR) research study will look at breast reconstruction during mastectomy procedures. There will be two arms in this study, a Treatment Arm, where data will be collected for a new medical device called the Tissue Reinforcement for Breast Reconstruction (TRBR) Device and a …
Assessment of the Interi Manifold in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
Patients with breast cancer that elect to undergo implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) often require the placement of a surgical drain. Surgical drains are used to manage dead space and prevent seroma formation or accumulation of fluid within the surgical field postoperatively. The most frequently used drain is a Jackson-Pratt (JP) …
Minimal Access Versus Conventional Latissimus Dorsi Flap Harvest for Breast Reconstruction
For patients refusing implants for breast reconstruction after cancer surgery, autologous tissue flap reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi muscle is an alternative. Conventional surgery leaves a long incision on the back, affecting aesthetics and quality of life. Minimal access techniques result in a smaller, more concealable scar. While previous studies …
A Study of a Decision Tool for People Considering Breast Reconstruction Surgery
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to do a larger study looking at the effectiveness of the Breast Reconstruction Decision Aid Tool (RECONJOINT) for breast reconstruction surgery.
Blossom® Smart Expander Device for Tissue Expander/Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
The conventional breast tissue expander used for breast reconstruction/ augmentation requires weekly or biweekly injections of saline through the skin and into an integrated port in the implant using a needle and syringe in order to expand breast skin, which is an in-office procedure and can be uncomfortable for patients. …
ChatGPT & Surgeon Synergy: Redefining Breast Reconstruction Consultations for Enhanced Patient Engagement and Satisfaction
In this study, patients who are scheduled for breast reconstruction consultation will be randomized into the intervention group (ChatGPT-generated patient education regarding possible reconstruction options) or the control group (usual patient education). All patients will complete a survey following their in-person consultation to assess their experience and overall satisfaction with …
Improvement in Breast Skin Sensibility After Breast Reconstruction: a Comparison of 3 Surgical Techniques
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nerve sutures in free flap breast reconstruction can optimize sensibility in the reconstructed breast in patients opting for DIEP flap breast reconstruction due to breast cancer or genetic conditions. Affected women 18 to 80 years old can be included. The …
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Healing Abdominal Incision in Obese Patients Undergoing Breast Reconstruction Surgery
This trial studies the safety and how well negative pressure wound therapy works in healing the abdominal incision in obese patients undergoing free flap breast reconstruction surgery. Using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) instead of standard dressing (bandages) may improve wound healing at the surgical site in the abdomen where …
Effect of Drain Care on Infection Rate and Quality of Life in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether showering with surgical drain tubes in place after first stage breast reconstruction causes increased risk of infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there an increased risk of infection/complications with showering 48 hours after drain tubes are …
