Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intradermal injection of Nanofat on wound healing and scar formation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this monocentric, randomized, controlled, double-blinded prospective interventional study, twenty patients will be included. Each patient will be his/her own control.

Patients undergoing DIEPflap breast reconstruction will be included in this study. During the surgery, the abdominal incision will be divided in two equal sides with the umbilicus as midline reference. The sides will be randomized in a treatment side and control side. The treatment side will receive intradermal nanofat injections after the subcutaneous and right before the intradermal sutures.

The patient and investigators will be blinded for the treatment protocol. The effects on wound healing, adverse events, scar formation and pigmentation will be evaluated up to one year after the surgery.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Patient, investigator, outcome assessor will be blinded for which side of the scar was treated and which was a control. Only the surgeon, who will not be involved in the assessment, will not be blinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intradermal Nanofat

This side of the scar received intradermal injection of nanofat during the closure of the donor site.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nanofat injection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Lipoaspirate, harvested during the surgery, is centrifuged for 1 minute at 2000 rpm to discard infiltration fluid. The residual fat is passed back and forth between two 10cc syringes interlocked with Tulip connecting pieces (2.4, 1.4 and 1.2 diameter, each 10 passes for a total of 30 passes). This is injected intradermally before the intradermal sutures are placed. The donor site is always entirely sutured (both sides) by the same person.

Control

This side of the scar received no injection.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
