NCT02491762

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effect of breast reconstruction surgery on respiratory functions. 45 patients elected for unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction surgery will go through respiratory function examinations a month prior to the surgery, one month after surgery and three months after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (24)

    Forced vital capacity: the determination of the vital capacity from a maximally forced expiratory effort

    a month prior to surgery

  • Forced expiratory volume at one second -FEV1

Study Population

patients elected for breast reconstruction surgery using tissue expander-implant technique

You may qualify if:

  • all subjects were elected for a unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction using tissue expander by the Oncoplastic Committee of the plastic surgery unit in Carmel Medical Center.
  • all subjects agrees to enroll in research

You may not qualify if:

  • subject is in a mental or physical condition that does not allow her to go through respiratory function tests.
  • subject was found with a respiratory disfunction or disease in the first respiratory function tests.
