Filter by:The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a randomized-controlled study to determine whether treatment with dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACMs) allografts can improve NAC viability in patients undergoing nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM). dHACM allografts are commercially available tissue membranes with biocompatible extracellular matrix and growth factors that have been shown to improve wound healing in patients with chronic and lower extremity wounds. To date, no study has evaluated the impact of dHACMs on NAC preservation following NSM. Investigators hypothesize that subareolar surgical implantation of dHACM allografts at time of NSM will reduce NAC necrosis and improve viability.
This study aims to assess nipple areolar complex sensation after nipple sparing mastectomy and compare the results according to different incisional approaches; specifically, inframammary fold (IMF) versus peri-areolar/radial. One-hundred-and-five post NSM patients from Oct 2019 to Nov 2021 have been recruited prospectively and evaluated for NAC sensory. A total of 97 patients (IMF 65 and peri-areolar/radial 32) were included in the analyses for comparison during follow up from 24 to 48 months after surgery. It was hypothesized that patients with IMF would have better outcomes for NAC senroy.
Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is indicated for breast cancer requiring total mastectomy and without nipple involvement by cancer. Robot-assisted mastectomy enables removal of the whole breast tissue with well-preserved breast skin envelope through a single longitudinal incision in the anterior axillary line at the nipple areolar level. The next-generation robot, da Vinci SP system, is single-armed, equipped with multiple flexible instruments and camera, which is likely to improve the efficacy of robotic mastectomy. The investigator's scope of this study is to establish the feasibility and safety of SP-applied NSM through this single-armed pilot trial. Participants with breast cancer indicated for nipple-sparing mastectomy or candidates of prophylactic mastectomy carrying germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutations are recruited to receive SP-assisted unilateral or bilateral NSMs. Immediate breast reconstruction is followed according to the mode of the plastic surgeon's clinical decision. The primary endpoint is technical feasibility, and the secondary endpoint is safety and patient-reported outcome.
This novel study will assess the feasibility and outcomes of same-day discharge following mastectomy with implant-based pre-pectoral reconstruction. This contrasts the current standard practice of admitting patients to the hospital as an inpatient for at least one night postoperatively. With the advent of pre-pectoral implant-based reconstructive techniques as opposed to the historical retro-pectoral breast reconstruction, patients experience significantly less post-operative pain, shorter recovery time, and improved mobility all of which support that patients lacking comorbidities are likely to meet discharge criteria the same day as surgery. Furthermore, advances in opioid sparing anesthesia and the Enhanced Recovery After Anesthesia protocol, has dramatically reduced pain scores and narcotic requirements after surgery at our institution. "Same day discharge" may reduce healthcare costs, decreases the risk of hospital-acquired infections and can increase patient satisfaction. Potential risks associated with same day discharge include readmissions, infections, limitations to pain management and other complications. The study will be conducted at MedStar System Hospitals and the population will be patients receiving pre-pectoral breast reconstruction following mastectomy that consent to the study. The project will be conducted as a prospective study where a carefully selected group of women without comorbidities undergoing mastectomy and pre-pectoral implant-based reconstruction will be offered same day discharge, educated about postoperative care preoperatively, be evaluated in the PACU and if they meet discharge criteria, will go home the same day as surgery. Those women who do not meet discharge criteria will stay overnight and be followed for outcomes, as well, as a comparison group. The primary endpoint for this study is patient satisfaction. Secondary outcomes include pain, complications including infection, hematomas, return to emergency room or urgent care, opiate equivalent use, and whether a patient would recommend same day discharge to others. Statistical analysis using means, 95% CI, frequency counts, descriptive statistics, fisher exact test and independent t-tests will evaluate differences between the same day discharge and admitted groups. Please see section 6 in the IRB protocol for more detail. We hypothesize that same day discharge provides acceptable patient satisfaction, pain control, complication rates with similar opiate equivalent use in comparison with overnight admission. Overall, we think this group will demonstrate positive outcomes on its own in these categories. We also believe that this study will demonstrate patients with same day discharge will recommend it to other women undergoing mastectomy.
This is retrospective, multicenter chart review is to evaluate the complication rates of prophylactic open NSM procedures through 42 days postoperatively
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the da Vinci Surgical Systems in prophylactic Nipple Sparing Mastectomy procedures.
