Optimizing Postoperative Recovery After Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Tissue (BestDIEP)

NCT05363189 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 380

Last updated 2025-07-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Women who have their breast reconstructed with autologous tissue seem to be more satisfied with their breast. However, autologous breast reconstruction entails a bigger operation, and the usage of more health care resources, than some other methods, such as implant-based techniques. The main objectives of the present study are to investigate if pre- peri- and postoperative protocols can be safely modified, so the operation demands less resources, while maintaining a low complication rate and a high patient satisfaction.
