Check an abdominal-tissue breast reconstruction approach
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes using your own lower-abdominal tissue (a DIEP flap) to rebuild a breast, done either immediately during mastectomy or later. It may help improve how this reconstruction is performed and how well it heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after mastectomy and radiation using your own tissue: fat grafting alone, or a more complex surgery using abdominal tissue. The goal is to see which method gives better results and quality of life.
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.
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.
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.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after a full mastectomy for breast cancer. One method is delayed endoscopic deep tissue reconstruction, and the other uses a muscle from your back. The goal is to find which method gives better results and satisfaction.
