The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate surgical usability, patient-reported outcomes and effectiveness of the MaMaLoc technique and compare it with WGL.
The study aim is to decrease the number of breast cancer patients receiving overtreatment of the axilla, in order to positively influence the axillary morbidity rate and quality of life. Therefore, we investigate whether completion axillary…
A novel one-stage procedure where definitive implants are combined with a collagen matrix is compared to the traditional two-staged procedure where a tissue expander is placed before an implant. Our hypotheses are the following:The use of a collagen…
We hypothesized that obliteration of the dead space following mastectomy would significantly reduce seroma formation and therefore seroma related wound complications and patient discomfort (fewer seroma aspirations and fewer check ups in the out…
The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of two procedures for skin sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction in a randomized clinical trial. The customary method for one-stage breast reconstruction with…
To reduce the extent of healthy breast tissue resection by US-guided surgery for palpable tumours compared to traditional palpation-guided surgery, without compromising oncological principles. To improve cosmetic outcomes and quality of life by US-…
To evaluate the efficacy of ROLL versus WGL in breast conserving surgery for non-palpable breast cancer.
Primary objective is to investigate whether palliative pleurectomy / decortication after 4-6 courses of standard chemotherapy with cisplatin and pemetrexed will lead to a doubling of the overall survival compared to a control group which will…
To assess a pilot-study on the impact of removal versus preservation of the pectoral fascia on total drain volume, time to drain removal and needle aspirations (and thus seroma) in women undergoing bilateral prophylactic mastectomy.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sensory nerve coaptation in autologous breast reconstructions on the sensibility of the reconstructed breast, compared to spontaneous sensory recovery, and…
The primary effectiveness objective of this study is to determine whether breast reconstruction with fat grafting is more successful with the EVEBRA Device than a breast reconstruction with fat grafting without the EVEBRA.The primary safety…
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a new breast reconstruction technique: Autologous fat transfer (AFT). This technique combines the advantages of using the patients* own tissue (fat cells), while being minimally invasive compared to…
The objective of this study is to decrease the number of breast cancer patients receiving overtreatment of the axilla, in order to positively influence the axillary morbidity rate and quality of life. Therefore, we investigate whether the sentinel…
The objective of this study is to assess the non-inferiority of analgesic efficacy of ESP vs PVB for patients undergoing unilateral mastectomy followed by immediate reconstruction.
Primary Objective: to determine whether polyurethane covered silicone implants (PCI) give a different capsular contracture rate than textured silicone implants (TI) in two-stage implant breast reconstruction after mastectomy in women.Secondary…
The primary objective of the study is to objective if there is a greater risk of loss of the tissue expander due to infection if patients are discharged with a surgical drain in situ.
To prove that omitting drains after mastectomy and flap fixation does not contribute to higher incidence of seroma formation and therefore reducing patient disutility such as seroma aspirations and visits to the outpatient clinic, as well as…
The primary objective is to evaluate and report the effect of an injected hyaluronic acid spacer on the rate of telangiectasia following PBSI.
