Breast reconstruction

This trial studies women with breast cancer who need a mastectomy, radiation, and immediate breast reconstruction using their own abdominal tissue (DIEP flap). The goal is to compare giving radiation before surgery versus after surgery. Researchers will measure patient satisfacti…

This study follows 400 women for 10 years to see how safe and effective Mentor MemoryGel Ultra High Profile breast implants are for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or for revision surgery. Researchers track problems like repeat surgeries, infection, and capsular contractur…

This study looks at a new material called SC Derm, used in breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer. It compares how well this material works and its safety against other similar products. About 120 women aged 20 to 69 who are having a mastectomy and immediate imp…

This study is testing a new surgical technique for breast reconstruction after mastectomy in women with early-stage breast cancer. The approach combines endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate fat grafting, all done through a small incision in the armpit. Researchers …

This trial compares two surgical flap techniques—Grisotti flap and reverse mirror Grisotti flap—for women with early-stage breast cancer in the central part of the breast. The study includes 106 women aged 25-70 with tumors up to 5 cm near the nipple. The main goal is to see whic…

This study tests whether a polyester mesh coated with fluoropolymer can reduce complications after breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer. One hundred women will receive either standard reconstruction or reconstruction with the coated mesh. The main goal is to see if t…

This study looks at whether a new scoring system, called the DIEP-MDS, can help predict the risk of blood flow problems and flap failure after DIEP flap breast reconstruction. The score is based on CT scans of the abdomen, measuring features of the blood vessels used in the surge…

This study uses a special ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in the breast skin of women who have had a mastectomy and radiation therapy. Researchers want to see how fat grafting affects blood supply. Fifteen women who are already scheduled for breast reconstruction will …

This study aims to find out how common persistent pain is after mastectomy and breast reconstruction, and whether a nerve surgery called RPNI can help reduce that pain. Researchers will follow 274 women who had mastectomy and reconstruction at Memorial Sloan Kettering. The study …

This study looks at why some women develop hard scar tissue (capsular contracture) around breast implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. Researchers will follow 300 women who had immediate implant-based reconstruction and check their results six months later. The goal is to …
