Summary

This study looks at a breast reconstruction method that uses only a small part of a back muscle, aiming to reduce shoulder pain and stiffness. Researchers will compare this technique to standard implant reconstruction in about 190 women. The goal is to see which approach gives better shoulder function, appearance, and overall quality of life.
