Recruiting studies
- NCT06930378Recruiting
Breast skin feeling after DIEP flap reconstruction
This trial compares three surgical techniques to see which one best preserves or improves skin feeling after breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap (using your own tissue to rebuild the breast). You may join if you are having this type of reconstruction and do not have nerve problems or smoke.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18–80 - NCT07222514Recruiting
Robotic surgery for breast reconstruction using belly tissue
This trial tests a new robotic technique to safely harvest belly tissue for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. The goal is to see if it's feasible and safe to use a single robotic arm to collect the tissue needed for a DIEP flap procedure.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05363189Recruiting
Improving recovery after breast reconstruction with belly-tissue flap
This study looks at ways to help your recovery after breast reconstruction using tissue moved from your lower belly (a DIEP flap). You may be asked to complete a questionnaire during the recovery period.
GothenburgAges 18–100 - NCT05512286Recruiting
Radiation experience after breast surgery with belly flap
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06080178RecruitingPhase 4
Goal-directed fluids during breast reconstruction surgery
This trial tests a precise fluid management strategy during DIEP flap breast reconstruction to improve outcomes. It aims to reduce complications and improve recovery.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18–70 - NCT06195865Recruiting
Comparing body-tissue vs. implant breast reconstruction
This trial compares two types of breast reconstruction after mastectomy: using your own tissue (DIEP flap) versus using an implant. It aims to see which gives better results.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06864754Recruiting
Video to improve understanding of DIEP flap breast reconstruction
This study tests whether a new video helps people understand their upcoming DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery better. It is for patients who are already scheduled for this surgery at Barnes Jewish Hospital.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07230535Recruiting
Robotic vs standard mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction study
This trial compares how patients feel after open or robotic mastectomy combined with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. It aims to see which approach improves wellbeing and recovery for women having this surgery.
BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT07263347Recruiting
DIEP flap breast reconstruction: markers and outcomes
This study looks at how certain body markers change during and after DIEP flap breast reconstruction (rebuilding the breast with your own belly tissue) following mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes and care for women undergoing this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07546331Recruiting
Body Composition and Breast Reconstruction Outcomes
This study measures body composition (muscle and fat distribution) in patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy to understand how these measurements relate to surgical outcomes and recovery. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict and optimize results for future patients.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07672392Recruiting
Exercise after breast reconstruction surgery
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program after DIEP flap breast reconstruction helps improve physical fitness compared to standard care. It may help women recover strength and well-being after surgery.
Beaumont, DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06711965Recruiting
Custom molds for breast reconstruction shaping
This trial tests custom 3D-printed molds to help shape breast tissue during reconstruction. It is for people who are already planning a DIEP or TRAM flap after mastectomy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+
