Exploring the anatomy of the breast fascia system
Official title: Endoscopic Anatomy of the Breast Fascia System: A Reverse Development Theory
Run by Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06678776 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at the structure of breast tissue in patients who have had certain types of breast surgery to see how it develops and how it might relate to breast health.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include breast cancer patients requiring mastectomy and those needing breast reduction.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone breast-conserving surgery may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the anatomy of the breast fascia system by examining patients who have undergone endoscopic mastectomy and reduction mammaplasty. It aims to understand the development of breast fascia and its relationship with surgical processes, focusing on two theories of breast development. The research will utilize endoscopic techniques to gather data on the structure and growth patterns of breast fascia. The findings may provide insights into breast disease and surgical approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical techniques and improve outcomes for patients undergoing breast surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While this study explores a novel approach to understanding breast anatomy, similar studies have not been widely reported, indicating a potential gap in existing research.
