Filter by: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.
