New study compares nano vs microtextured expanders in breast reconstruction
NCT ID NCT07442838
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at 88 women who had two-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer. It compares complication rates between nano- and microtextured tissue expanders and checks how prior radiotherapy affects outcomes. The goal is to find which expander type may lead to fewer problems like infection or capsular contracture.
