"PRO-Pocket"-Study
International prospective multicentre Post Market Clinical Follow Up to "Patient reported outcome" in primary or secondary breast reconstruction after mastectomy using a titanised polypropylene mesh (TiLOOP® Bra Pocket)
This international, multi-centre post market clinical follow up study examined the titanised polypropylene mesh implant TiLOOP® Bra Pocket. TiLOOP® Bra Pocket is intended for the support, reinforcement and bridging of body's own tissue in reconstructive and plastic-aesthetic breast surgery, e.g. after breast cancer.
Study objectives
Primary Endpoint
- Assessment of quality of life after plastic-reconstructive surgery: comparison pre- and 12 months postoperative using the Breast-Q questionnaire reconstructive
Secondary Endpoint
- Recording of the quality of life after 6 and 24 months using the Breast-Q questionnaire reconstructive
- Documentation of the complication rate after 6, 12 and 24 months
- Evaluation of the cosmetic outcome after 6, 12 and 24 months with the use of photo documentation
