Measure
Reconstruction
The study population will consist of women aged 18 or over who are undergoing primary breast reconstruction. The Reconstruction cohort will include subjects with loss of breast tissue due to mastectomy, contralateral breast for post-reconstruction symmetry or subjects with deformities secondary to disease, malignancy, trauma, and congenital deformity. Subjects in this cohort cannot have been implanted with breast implants, but may have tissue expanders. A Becker implant is considered a tissue expander until the port and fill tube have been removed. Women who undergo surgery primarily for a mastopexy will not be part of the reconstruction cohort.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 Years

Population: The study was prematurely discontinued. The sample size was not large enough for statistical significance. Because only 11 subjects were enrolled in the Becker CA Study, demographic information and key safety information were listed by subject only and no formal summary tables were prepared.
