Official title
Tissue Expansion in Breast Reconstruction Without Drains: A Study Using a Tissue Expander That Collects Periprosthetic Fluid
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary objective of this small feasibility pilot study is to demonstrate that implant-based breast reconstruction (after treatment for cancer) can successfully be performed without prolonged drain placement, using a tissue expander with a reservoir and in-office transcutaneous fluid aspiration. Secondly, the investigators aim to provide enough confidence in this technique that a larger study can be performed to demonstrate fewer complications (infection, drain-related pain and re-operation rates) when compared to the use of conventional tissue expanders and/or implants with prolonged drain placement.
