Actual (reported)The primary objective of this small feasibility pilot study is to demonstrate that implant-based breast reconstruction (after treatment for cancer) can successfully be performed without prolonged drain placement, using a tissue expander with a reservoir and in-office transcutaneous fluid aspiration. Secondly, the investigators aim to provide enough confidence in this technique that a larger study can be performed to demonstrate fewer complications (infection, drain-related pain and re-operation rates) when compared to the use of conventional tissue expanders and/or implants with prolonged drain placement.

Actual (reported)Number of patients with successful breast reconstruction using reservoir-expanders
The number of patients that successfully complete two stage implant-based breast reconstruction with fluid-reservoir tissue expanders and early drain removal. An outcome failure would be if the expander required removal due to uncontrolled seroma, infection or other factor that prevents a successful implant-based reconstruction.
4-6 months
5 consecutive patients with breast cancer or a breast cancer-causing gene that elect to undergo bilateral breast reconstruction will be Insertion of Tissue Expander with Fluid Reservoir as the first stage of reconstruction. Post-surgical care will be similar as patients with conventional expanders, except that during office visits, fluid will be transcutaneously aspirated from the fluid reservoir on each side.
Use of unique expander type in first stage of a two-stage breast reconstruction, without prolonged drain placement.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
Women over the age of 21 with breast cancer or a gene that increases the risk of breast cancer who elect to undergo bilateral mastectomies and two-stage implant-based reconstruction using tissue expanders and permanent implants.
