Testing pre-chest breast reconstruction with or without mesh
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding mesh (a supportive material) improves results in breast reconstruction placed in front of the chest. It may help some people heal better and get a more comfortable shape, but it depends on your surgery plan and health factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult woman between 18 and 65 years old
- You are planning immediate breast reconstruction on one or both sides, using a pre-chest (front-of-chest) implant or tissue expander
- Your planned tissue expander is 800 cc or less, and your planned implant is 600 cc or less
- Your breast skin flap blood flow must be judged as good by the surgical team
- You have not smoked for at least the last 4 weeks
- You have a healthy body weight for the study (BMI 35 or lower) and you agree to join

This trial tests a newer, less invasive way to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, using robotic or endoscopic tools. It then rebuilds the breast with an implant wrapped in a non-biological mesh. The goal is to see how well patients recover and how they feel about the results.
This trial studies whether using a supportive “mesh” during a two-stage breast reconstruction surgery is safe and effective for people rebuilding their breast after breast cancer. You might be a candidate if you have no signs of spread to distant organs and meet several health and body-size criteria.
This study tests whether using surgical mesh can be done safely and works well in breast reconstruction done right away, in front of the chest muscle (pre-pectoral) using tissue expanders. It may help improve how the reconstructed area holds up, but you’d need to meet specific surgical and health requirements.
This trial is a registry that collects information from adults having breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It focuses on reconstruction done with pre-pectoral implants (sometimes with a tissue expander), to help doctors better understand outcomes and care over time.
This study looks at how a special mesh called TIGR® Matrix affects quality of life, safety, and effectiveness after breast reconstruction surgery. It is for women who need or choose to have their breasts removed and reconstructed.
This study looks at how “biological” materials compare with synthetic mesh during immediate, one-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors choose the best support material to improve reconstruction outcomes for women undergoing this surgery.
