Comparing two breast reconstruction methods after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.

- It has been at least 1 year since your mastectomy, or at least 6 months since radiation therapy.
- Your breast cancer has not come back in the same area or spread to other parts.
- You don't have serious health problems that would make surgery risky, and you don't have a weak immune system.
- You don't have a long smoking history or poorly controlled diabetes.

This study looks at women who had a delayed breast reconstruction using a small camera (endoscope) and an implant, at least 6 months after their mastectomy. It aims to see how safe and effective this procedure is.
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 compares two common ways of rebuilding the breast with implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. It looks at surgical outcomes to help women and doctors choose the best approach.
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
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 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.
