Optimizing Postoperative Recovery After Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Tissue (BestDIEP)
Vastra Gotaland Region
380 participants
May 2, 2022
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
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.
