First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at a breast reconstruction method that uses a smaller piece of back muscle to rebuild the breast after mastectomy. The goal is to see if this less invasive approach causes less shoulder pain and stiffness while still giving good cosmetic results. Researchers will compare the experiences of 190 women who had either this muscle-sparing flap or a standard implant reconstruction.
