Filter by:The purpose of this study is to establish techniques for evaluating breast cutaneous sensation at baseline and following either lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast cancer.
The purpose of this study was to perform an evaluation of the structural changes in the abdominal wall after harvesting a DIEP flap in breast reconstruction. 14 women undergoing secondary, unilateral breast reconstruction were recruited to the study and underwent a 2 year postoperative CT scan of the abdomen (without contrast). Structural changes were assessed by comparing the abdominal CT scans performed prior to surgery with the 2 year postoperative CT scans.
This study evaluates the effect of breast reconstruction surgery on respiratory functions. 45 patients elected for unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction surgery will go through respiratory function examinations a month prior to the surgery, one month after surgery and three months after surgery.
The purpose of this study was to perform a quantitative perfusion study of the undermined abdominal skin in deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap breast reconstruction patients in order to obtain more knowledge on perfusion dynamics. Laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) was used to evaluate this. Microcirculatory changes were monitored in the abdominal skin of 20 consecutive patients. Measurements were taken and recorded within four standardized zones covering the skin between the xiphoid process and the upper incisional boundary of the flap (zone 1-4; cranial to caudal).
The use of NPWT as a post-operative dressing significantly reduces the incidence of seroma formation after harvesting LD flap.
Use of a HADM and implant in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to examine the different outcomes of breast reconstruction in women who are treated for breast cancer with mastectomy and subsequently have delayed breast reconstruction by one of two different surgical techniques both of which are based on the use of a tissue flap from the patient's back. These techniques are either a latissimus dorsi flap (LD-flap) or a thoracodorsal artery perforator flap (TAP-flap) The main objective of the study is to establish whether one of these techniques may result in a superior outcome and thus should be recommended as first choice treatment rather than the other.
The objective of this study is to prospectively observe clinical and economic outcomes with the use of SERI® in direct-to-implant breast reconstruction.
The CPG Styles Study is designed to demonstrate the safety of different styles of Mentor's Contour Profile Gel (CPG) breast implants in women who are undergoing primary augmentation, primary reconstruction, or revision. Safety information on the rate of capsular contracture, rupture and infection will be collected and used to determine device safety.
Prospective, single center, postmarket clinical study to obtain clinical experience with the use of SERI® Surgical Scaffold for soft tissue support and repair in breast reconstruction.
