Abdominal Scar Improvement in Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction
Sponsor: Stanford University
Summary
Microsurgical breast reconstruction is most commonly performed with free abdominal flaps, which leave a long transverse lower abdominal scar. Due to tension across the incision, these scars frequently widen and hypertrophy. Hence, modalities that can reduce this tendency, thus, improving scar appearance are desirable. Here, we wish to investigate the impact of the Neodyne embrace device on postoperative abdominal scar appearance. The proposed study is novel in that it is the first RCT investigating the effect of the embrace device on scar appearance in the context of microsurgical breast reconstruction.
