Partial breast reconstruction with chest wall flap
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific type of partial breast reconstruction called a chest wall perforator flap. It's for women who previously had a lumpectomy and now want to improve the shape of their breast.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning a partial breast reconstruction (rebuilding part of the breast) using a special flap technique from your chest wall.
- You have had a previous lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) and now need a delayed correction of the breast shape.
- You are not having a mastectomy (removing the whole breast) or immediate reconstruction right after the tumor is removed.
- Your surgeon has performed this type of flap surgery at least 10 times before.
- Your hospital plans to do at least 10 of these surgeries each year.

This study tests a new way to find important blood vessels in the chest wall using ultrasound before breast surgery. If successful, it could help surgeons plan partial breast reconstruction more precisely.
This study looks at how well special breast-conserving surgery techniques work for women with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if these techniques provide good results and satisfaction over time.
This trial studies patients who need surgery to rebuild part of their chest wall after a defect. It looks at how well different reconstruction methods work, especially for larger defects that can't be simply closed.
This trial tests using a patient's own fat plus a special blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) to rebuild the breast right after a lumpectomy for breast cancer. It may help improve healing and appearance for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy: a delayed procedure using tissue from your back (latissimus dorsi) with or without an implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for women who have already healed from their initial surgery.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after mastectomy: a delayed procedure using your own body tissue (called 'autologous flap reconstruction') and a technique that uses a thin tube (endoscope) to place a tissue expander.
