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 …
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 …
Functional Evaluation After Breast Reconstruction With a Minimally Invasive Latissimus Dorsi Flap Following Radical Surgery for Breast Cancer.
This study will quantify the muscle function after breast reconstruction using a minimally invasive latissimus dorsi flap. The proposed measures (clinical, isokinetic, electrophysiology, function and quality of life questionnaires) allow a precise, multidisciplinary, objective evaluation of the capacity of the latissimus dorsi muscle before surgery, 3 months and 6 months …
The Effect of Digital Technology-Supported Education on Patients Undergoing Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study
The goal of this randomized, controlled study is to test the effectiveness of digital technology-supported education on patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
The Application of "HUAXI Hole 1" in Reverse-sequence Endoscopic Nipple-sparing Mastectomy With Direct-to-implant Breast Reconstruction
This study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial. It will prospectively compare outcomes between patients undergoing reverse-sequence endoscopic NSM (R-E-NSM) with direct-to-implant breast reconstruction (DIBR) with the "HUAXI Hole 1" versus without the "HUAXI Hole 1". The study aims to evaluate differences in operative efficiency, surgical safety, postoperative aesthetics, …
Trial Of PreoperAtive Radiation (TOPAz): A Randomized Trial Comparing Hypofractionated Versus Conventionally Fractionated Preoperative Radiation Followed by Mastectomy With Immediate Autologous Breast Reconstruction With Integrated Nanomechanical Biomarker Evaluation
To compare the outcomes of and responses to 2 different radiation therapy schedules (the standard radiation amount and number of doses versus less radiation and fewer doses) that are being given before having breast cancer surgery (cancer removal and reconstruction).
Surgeon-Guided Serratus Block in Breast Reduction Surgery
Surgeon guided serratus block, which can be performed by the surgeon in participants undergoing breast reduction surgery, may reduce the sensation of pain from the surgical field in the postoperative period. Thus, participants experience less pain in the postoperative period, consume less analgesics, and there is a decrease in related …
