Summary

This study is testing whether combining fat grafting with a muscle flap from the back can improve delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Twenty women who had a nipple-sparing mastectomy will receive the procedure. The main goal is to see if it reduces wound infections or wound separation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Fat grafting combined with latissimus dorsi muscle flap (surgical procedure)
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could improve breast reconstruction outcomes after mastectomy, reducing complications like wound infection.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage study (20 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Surgical risks include infection and wound healing problems.
