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 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 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 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 looks at how certain body markers change during and after DIEP flap breast reconstruction (rebuilding the breast with your own belly tissue) following mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes and care for women undergoing this surgery.
This trial tests whether doing physiotherapy and using a device that gently vibrates the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement after breast reconstruction using a latissimus dorsi flap. It might help you recover faster and have less discomfort.
