Breast surgery

This study looks at women with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes under the arm, found before surgery. Normally, doctors remove many lymph nodes, which can cause arm swelling and pain. The trial tests if removing only the first few affected nodes is just as effective fo…

This trial is testing whether giving a nerve block at two levels of the spine provides better pain relief after breast surgery than the standard one-level block. The study will enroll 70 adults undergoing breast surgery, who will receive either a single injection or two injection…

Researchers are testing whether an ozonated oil helps surgical wounds heal faster and scars look better after breast surgery. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the ozonated oil or a non-ozonated oil, both combined with chlorhexidine, and neither the p…

This study investigates whether listening to self-selected music during breast surgery can reduce the amount of propofol, an anesthesia drug, needed. Participants are randomly assigned to either listen to music through headphones during surgery and recovery or receive standard ca…

This trial tests whether the angle of the ultrasound probe during a nerve block affects pain relief after breast surgery. About 70 adults scheduled for breast surgery will receive a serratus anterior plane block with bupivacaine, using either a transverse or longitudinal probe or…

This pilot study is testing a new, less invasive breast surgery called endoscopic video-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (E-NSM) for women with early-stage breast cancer or those at high risk. The goal is to see if this technique can reduce surgical trauma and improve cosmetic …

This study will review medical records of 5,000 adults who had breast surgery using MOLLI markers or SPY imaging. Researchers want to see how often the marker is found during surgery and removed correctly. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are given.

This study tests whether watching a video, reading a brochure, or doing both helps women feel more prepared and less anxious when choosing breast reconstruction after mastectomy. About 100 women will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: video only, brochure only, both, or …

This study looks back at the medical records of 200 women with breast cancer to compare two types of breast-conserving surgery: one done with a robot and one done with an endoscope. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer complications, shorter surgery time, and better cos…

This study is tracking how breast surgery affects patients' quality of life and satisfaction. Researchers will survey 1000 adults who had any type of breast surgery at the University Hospital of Basel. The goal is to better understand the surgery's impact, not to test a new treat…
