Comparing incision types in breast reconstruction after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares different types of surgical cuts (incisions) used during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It looks at which incision gives the best cosmetic result and causes the fewest problems. Researchers want to find out which technique is best for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a total mastectomy (whole breast removal).
- You have had breast reconstruction with an implant, your own body tissue, or a combination.
- You are able to come back for follow-up visits and have your data recorded.
- You are not currently in a life-threatening situation.

This study compares different surgical methods for treating granulomatous mastitis, a rare inflammatory breast condition. It aims to find which approach works best for patients who can safely have surgery.
This study compares two surgical methods to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy (surgical removal of breast tissue). Researchers want to see which approach—using a special flap technique versus autologous flap reconstruction (using your own tissue)—works better for women at least 6–12 months after their initial breast cancer surgery.
This trial compares three different ways surgeons make the incision (cut) during a mastectomy to see which one leads to the best-looking scar. You may be eligible if you are having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
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.
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.
