Studying latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction outcomes
This trial looks at patients who had a type of breast reconstruction called a latissimus dorsi flap. It reviews surgery time, hospital stay, and whether any additional operations or cancer recurrences happened. The goal is to learn more about how this procedure works over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction (a surgery that uses a muscle from your back to rebuild the breast).
- Your medical records include details on how long the surgery took.
- Your medical records include information on how long you stayed in the hospital.
- Your medical records show whether you needed another surgery within 30 days after the first one.
- Your medical records include the most recent information on your survival and whether the cancer came back.

This study compares a less invasive method of harvesting the latissimus dorsi (a back muscle) for breast reconstruction. It is for early-stage breast cancer patients who have mild to moderate breast sagging and want to use their own tissue for reconstruction.
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 if combining fat grafting with a muscle flap from the back improves breast reconstruction results after a mastectomy. It may help women who had a mastectomy and are now looking for delayed reconstruction.
This trial looks at how well a specific reconstructive surgery (using a flap from your back) works for people with oral squamous cell carcinoma. It helps doctors understand outcomes and recovery after this type of 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 tests if starting physical therapy and gentle shoulder exercises before surgery can reduce shoulder pain and improve mobility after a specific type of breast reconstruction using a back muscle flap.
