Breast reconstruction methods after mastectomy surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). The goal is to determine which method provides better results for appearance, comfort, and function.

This study looks at a type of delayed breast reconstruction called endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. It aims to understand how well it works for women who had a mastectomy at least 6 months earlier.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after a full mastectomy for breast cancer. One method is delayed endoscopic deep tissue reconstruction, and the other uses a muscle from your back. The goal is to find which method gives better results and satisfaction.
This study compares two surgical approaches for rebuilding the breast after cancer removal: using a temporary expander first (two-stage) versus placing an implant directly (one-stage). Researchers will track which approach leads to better surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
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 tests how safe and effective it is to remove the breast (mastectomy) and rebuild it right away during the same surgery. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who want reconstruction instead of breast-sparing surgery.
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.
