Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is the first prospective randomized and controlled study on the efficacy and safety of TiLOOP® Bra mesh in patients with expander-implant breast reconstruction. The investigators hypothesize that incoporating TiLOOP Bra mesh with tissue expanders will reduce the rates of capsular contraction, improve the efficiency of expansion and provide better aesthetic result.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Complication Rates

Time Frame: up to 24 months after surgery

complications related to the reconstructed breast, including flap complications, capsular contracture, surgical site infection, prosthetic malposition/extrusion, reconstruction failure, etc.

Expansion Efficiency

Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

percentage of average injected saline volume to total volume (E=average volume/ total volume)through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes

  • number of occurrence of deep venous thrombosis(from expander implation up to the completion of expander exchange, through study completion, an average of 1 year)
  • number of occurrence of non-surgical site infection(from expander implation up to the completion of expander exchange, through study completion, an average of 1 year)
  • number of revision surgery(from the completion of expander exchange up to 24 months after surgery)
  • psychological evaluation by Breast-Q questionnaire(from the completion of expander exchange up to 24 months after surgery)
  • aesthetic outcome graded by Harris evaluation score and Breast-Q questionaire(from the completion of expander exchange up to 24 months after surgery)
  • total cost(from expander implation up to the completion of expander exchange,through study completion, an average of 1 year)
