Recovery after mastectomy and tissue expander at Mayo Clinic Florida
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how women recover after mastectomy and tissue expander placement, comparing those who stay at the Mayo Clinic Florida Care Hotel with those who go home or stay in the hospital. It aims to see which option leads to better satisfaction and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at different ways to place tissue expanders during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It aims to find which technique gives better results for women with breast cancer or high genetic risk.
This study compares two breast reconstruction techniques after a mastectomy to see which one gives better results. Participating may help you rebuild your breast shape in a way that feels more natural to you.
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.
This study tests a new “smart” expander device used during two-step breast reconstruction or breast augmentation. It may help doctors improve how tissue expanders are managed before a final implant is placed.
This study tests a new breast reconstruction method using Motiva Flora implants and your own fat to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy. It is for women who need tissue expansion as part of their reconstruction and have completed cancer treatments at least one year earlier.
This study is tracking how a silicone breast expander (a temporary balloon placed under the skin to stretch it) and a permanent silicone breast implant perform over time in women who need breast reconstruction. It aims to make sure the Silimed-brand expander and implant are safe and work well.
