Summary
This study tests a mixed reality system called VascuLens 2.0 that projects 3D images of a patient's blood vessels onto their body during DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery. The goal is to help surgeons make more accurate incisions, potentially reducing surgery time and complications. Sixty women undergoing this surgery after mastectomy will be randomly assigned to either standard planning or the VascuLens-guided approach.

What this could lead to
If successful, this system could make DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgeries faster and safer by helping surgeons see blood vessels more clearly.

This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technology may not improve accuracy or outcomes as hoped.
