About this study

Breast enlargement reductions are frequent interventions. One of the main issue associated with this surgery remains the ransom scar, wide at the periareolar level, vertical at the subareolar level and in the submammary groove.

The expected result is to achieve a reduction in breast enlargement with no visible scar using Da Da Vinci Xi robot.

Read the detailed description

Breast enlargement reductions are frequent interventions. One of the main issue associated with this surgery remains the ransom scar, wide at the periareolar level, vertical at the subareolar level and in the submammary groove. In addition, this intervention remains subject to the vagaries of hypertrophic or even keloid scarring, especially in young women.

The current research project is based on the hypothesis that the same technique could be used in the context of a reduction of breast enlargement on a smaller surface allowing the determination of a perimammary "halo" of scar retraction. The project consists in removing a breast disc at the base, thus causing a sagging skin cut of 2 to 3 cm but this time, circular.

The expected result is to achieve a reduction in breast enlargement with no visible scar, using Da Vinci Xi robot.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Visible Scare

    The main judgment criterion for the scar balance will be a photograph of the breasts at 3 months to describe the number of visible scars. Aspect and position.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Efficacity of the reduction (weight)

    • The weight of the exeresis (more than 300g per side which corresponds according to calculation to a gland disc about 2 cm thick on an extended conical breast of 13cm for the base)

    Measured: day of surgery

  2. Intensity of Back Pain

    The pain score on the EVA scale (score from 0 no pain to 10 max pain) will be described

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Skin retraction

    • Post-operative skin retraction

    Measured: at 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Robot Breast reduction surgery in people with Breast Hypertrophy, run by GCS Ramsay Santé pour l'Enseignement et la Recherche at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jean François OUDET (+33683346567, jf.oudet@ecten.eu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Visible Scare (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2020.
