Fat grafting plus latissimus dorsi muscle flap for delayed breast reconstruction

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The protocol combines a latissimus dorsi muscle flap with autologous fat grafting to perform delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Eligible women undergo flap reconstruction with simultaneous fat harvest and transfer at Sohag University Hospital. Surgical outcomes such as contour, volume retention, complications, and donor-site morbidity will be recorded during follow-up. The goal is to determine whether the combined technique improves aesthetic results and reduces the need for additional procedures.
