The aim of this study is to investigate the host tissue response to the implanted collagen inlay in implant based breast reconstruction. Secondary, we want to investigate if the presence of capsular formation is associated with the presence of…
The aim of this study is to identify Galectin-1 and -3 as possible biomarkers in capsular contracture. Moreover, we plan to investigate whether HLA-typing and IgE levels in subjects can be used to predict the chance of development of capsular…
Primary Objective: 1. A search for (objective) EEG predictors (independent variables) for both acute and chronic postoperative pain (dependent variables) after breast cancer surgery. The EEG variables are derived from the above mentioned five…
To evaluate the tissue-oxygenation and microcirculation before, during and after application of artificial pneumoperitoneum/-thorax using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and Sidestream Dark Field Imaging (SDF) and validate the usefulness of these…
The primary aim of this study is to prospectively assess the incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients undergoing abdominal flap breast reconstruction.
Investigate the consequences of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and sentinel lymph node procedure (SNP) regarding shoulder impairments, the activities a women still undertakes and the role of quality of life and anxiety in this in women who…
Interactive provision of information with the use of web-based applications should increase patient satisfaction, which is an important performance factor. This information should be consistent and clear for the patient. Patient satisfaction is…
To test the hypothesis stated above, we propose to study the dose-response relationship between various chemostimulants and PMN functions of major trauma patients and patients undergoing major surgery in vitro, both early after the initial trauma or…
The BASIS study will analyze the full cancer genome of breast cancer subtype ER+ HER2-.
Our primary objective is to determine the effect of breast reconstruction on the risk of developing lymphedema. Secondarily, we will look at lymphedema and the correlation with 1) primary and secondary breast reconstruction, 2) the extent of…
The value of implementation and cost-efficacy of Tumor Volume / Breast Volume Ratio, as measured by Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS), during the preoperative workup in breast cancer patients on 1) cosmetic result after BCS, and 2) surgical…
1. To determine risk factors for BIA-ALCL in women with silicone breast implants. The associations between demographic-, reproductive- and lifestyle characteristics and BIA-ALCL risk among women with breast implants will be investigated. Furthermore…
To study the neuroplasticity of the brain after mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery by assessing the somatotopy of the breast on the somatosensory cortex of patients who underwent either breast reconstruction with and without nerve…
