Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adult women aged 18-65 planning immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor perfusion of the breast mastectomy flap or those with a BMI greater than 35 may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical study investigates the efficacy and safety of immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction in adult women, comparing outcomes when TiLOOP Mesh is utilized versus when it is not. Participants will include those undergoing unilateral or bilateral reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer or prophylactic reasons. The study aims to determine if the use of mesh improves surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Eligible candidates will be women aged 18-65 with specific criteria regarding their health and surgical needs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical outcomes and recovery for women undergoing breast reconstruction.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research in breast reconstruction techniques, the specific use of TiLOOP Mesh in this context is relatively novel.
