Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is unequivocally beneficial in reducing the recurrences as well as improving survival in node positive breast cancer patients. PMRT for women with T1-T2 tumors and negative axillary nodes is not generally warranted because of the presumed low risk of recurrence in this population as a whole. However, …
In breast cancer patients treated by mastectomy and adjuvant post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) reconstruction is often delayed until 6 - 12 month after completion of chemotherapy and PMRT, due to high risk of complication. In this trial the safety of the delayed-immediate reconstruction method is tested, where a skin sparing …
Patients with a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) in high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes who are considering risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) often strongly desire to keep their nipple areola complex but inquire as to whether it is safe to do so. Relative to traditional or skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques, nipple …
This study will investigate the utility of Silk bioprotein, an FDA-approved and readily available post-surgical dressing, as a wound dressing for patients undergoing double-incision mastectomy for female-to-male gender affirmation surgery.
Gender affirming surgeries (GAS) have been steadily increasing in the US, with the gender affirming mastectomy (GAM) being the most common surgery performed. Complications associated with these surgeries include hematoma and seroma. Prior studies in orthopedics, plastic surgery, and trauma have shown significant reduction of bleeding and ecchymosis with the …
Lymphocele secondary to a mastectomy whether or not associated with a lymph node procedure (sentinel lymph node or axillary dissection) is an almost systematic consequence observed in the postoperative situation in this type of surgery. This can be the source of pain, skin complications, and infection with a significant impact …
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women. Five to ten percent of all breast cancers are due to hereditary factors, with pathogenic variants in the breast cancer genes BRCA1/2 accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancer. Women with pathogenic variants in BRAC1/2 and other pathogenic gene …
This study aims to compare the costotransverse foramen block with erector spinae plane block in modified radical mastectomy.
Post-mastectomy lymphedema is one of the most common chronic complications that significantly impacts patients' quality of life following breast cancer surgery. postural stability is maintained through the intricate integration of muscular forces, sensory input from mechanoreceptors, and biomechanical feedback. closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises play a crucial role in enhancing …
The goal of this comparative study is to learn how different surgical methods affect nipple and skin sensation after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). The study will compare three types of NSM: conventional, endoscopic, and robotic. The main question it aims to answer is: How much nipple sensation do participants keep after …
