Predicting skin healing after mastectomy with immediate reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check blood flow in the skin during mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The goal is to see if this imaging can predict which part of the skin might have healing problems, helping doctors make better decisions during surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
This study tests whether warming the skin before a mastectomy can help with healing after breast reconstruction. It aims to improve recovery for women having immediate breast reconstruction.
This trial tests a new way for surgeons to find leftover cancer cells in the lymph nodes after they have been removed during breast cancer surgery. It uses a special dye and augmented reality to help make sure no cancer is missed.
This study is looking at how radiotherapy affects women who have immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to understand the changes and improve future care. Participants will have 3D imaging and answer questionnaires.
This study compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
