Filter by:Patients can undergo breast implant surgery for multiple reasons; cosmetic and reconstructive being the primary indications. In order to confidently state safety and due to strict regulation on medical devices it is important to maintain a record of safety and performance with all medical implants. This study is designed to collect data on a new generation of smooth mammary implants to assess the long term performance and safety data on this type of gel-filled mammary breast implant. The two main complications of breast implants are capsular contracture and rupture; these complications can take years to develop. The study is designed to evaluate the occurrence of these two primary complication as well as other secondary complications over a period of 10 years. Patient follow up will be carried out pre-operatively and post operatively at 12 months and then 3, 5, 8 and 10 years thereafter. The study will be carried out over 10 years to adequately assess complications which may only occur over the lifetime of the device such as systemic complications
Ultrasound (US)-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) has demonstrated favourable results in lower abdominal surgery. Literature about its efficacy in breast reconstruction surgery with transversus rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is still scarce. In the current study investigators pretend to evaluate the efficacy of US-guided bilateral TAP block for unilateral breast reconstruction using autologous abdominal graft in women with breast cancer's history.
This trial examines the impact of patients' knowledge of an experienced distant healer's efforts to heal them on measures of wound healing, psychosocial functioning, and physiological symptoms after plastic surgery.
