Prosthetic breast reconstruction after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies breast reconstruction using implants after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). It aims to understand how different types of implants work and how patients recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are having or have had a mastectomy (breast removed)
- You plan to have reconstruction using a breast implant (like a saline or silicone implant), not using your own tissue

This study looks at how women feel after having a nipple-sparing mastectomy (where the nipple is kept) and immediate breast reconstruction with an implant, using a robotic single-port technique. It aims to see if this approach improves well-being and patient satisfaction.
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
This trial studies different ways surgeons can remove the breast and rebuild it, including approaches that keep the nipple-area tissue and reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi flap (a type of tissue flap) with or without an implant. It may help improve which reconstruction method works best for people undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer or high breast-cancer risk.
This study tests custom-made breast implants designed using 3D imaging technology for women having breast removal surgery. The goal is to see if personalized implants improve surgical outcomes and appearance.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). The goal is to determine which method provides better results for appearance, comfort, and function.
This study compares two types of breast reconstruction for women who need radiation therapy after their mastectomy: one-stage reconstruction using a permanent implant placed in front of the chest muscle, versus the standard two-stage approach where a tissue expander is used first and replaced with a permanent implant later. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients who require post-mastectomy radiation.
