About this study

Official title: Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction With Polyurethane Implantes and Radiotherapy: a Single Center Retrospective Study Evaluating Risk and Complications

The goal of this observational study is to learn about correct surgical indications and long-term complications in patient with immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implants. The main question it aims to answer are: what are the correct indications for this type of reconstruction? what is the complications rates? are the complications affected by pre and post operative radiotherapy? It's a retrospective study of all the patients that received prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implants without any exclusion factors. Researchers will compare the non-irradiated group with the patients with pre and post radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

The study is a data collection of 250 patients for a total of 317 breasts underwent prepectoral breast recosntruction with polyurethane implantes. It is a retrospective study of a single center. The investigators gave indication to that type of reconstruction only to patients with good thickness (> 0.5 cm) and vascularity of skin flap after mastectomy.

The investigators used not selective criteria regarding risk factors so to better evaluate wich of them has a negative trend on the success of the reconstruction and on the major and minor complications. In that way the investigators tried to definde clarly the correct indications for this type of reconstruction.

In addition, the investigators would like to define if the postoperative radiation therapy agument the complications rate and the capsular contracture incidence.

The investigators decide to perform prepectoral breast reconstruction also in 20 patientes underwent previous radiotherapy dependig on the grade of cutaneus radiodistrophy, so to propose our less invasive approach to these patients normally candidates to autologus breast reconstruction

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implantsProcedure or surgery

    Breast reconstruction in the prepectoral plane without elevate the pectoralis major muscle. We choose this type of reconstruction only in patients with mastectomy flap thickness of plus then 0.5 cm. We usally use silicone implants covered by an external layer of polyurethane so not to put directly in contact the silicone with the subcutaneus tissue.

Study groups in NCT06216106
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients undergone prepectoral breast reconstructionAs the retrospective nature of this study, we have no exlusion criterias. We included all the patients with prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane covered implants. We also included patients underwent postoperative radiation therapy (50 patients) and 20 patients with history of previous radiotherapy
Receives: Procedure: Prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implants

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. reconstruction failure

    loss of implant or switch to autologus recosntruction

    Measured: 12 months

  2. major complications

    evaluation of hematoma, infection, flap necrosis, wound dehiscence rate

    Measured: 12months

  3. minor complications

    evaluation of seroma, rippling, casular contracture, asymmetry rate

    Measured: 12 months

  4. risk factor

    evaluation of the risk factors correlated to recostruction failure

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. postoperative radiation therapy on patients underwent prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implantes

    evaluation if the post operative radiation therapy is correlated with an increase of reconstruction failure and capsular contracture

    Measured: 12 months

  2. patients previously irradiated (QUART) and underwent prepectoral breast reconstruction with polyurethane implantes

    analysis of clinical characteristics of pre irradiatred patients submitted to prepectoral breast recosntruction with polyurethane implantes

    Measured: 12 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

reconstruction failure (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06216106, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
