Breast reconstruction study tests if cheaper surgical mesh works as well as expensive option

NCT ID NCT03064893

Summary

This study directly compared two different surgical mesh materials used to support breast implants during reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. Researchers wanted to see if a less expensive mesh performed as well as a more expensive one in terms of healing, complications, and overall costs. The trial involved 62 women undergoing immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer treatment or prevention.
