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 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 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 study tests a new way to improve DIEP flap breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help with blood flow and recovery after surgery.
This study tests a new technology called VascuLens 2.0, which uses mixed reality (like a see-through headset) to help surgeons guide your DIEP flap breast reconstruction. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially safer by overlaying your CT scan images onto your body during the operation.
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.
