Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to find out whether using an interactive 3D tool during a standard surgical consultation can lead to greater patient satisfaction with the information provided about breast reconstruction options than the standard consultation alone. The study researchers will also assess whether women whose surgical consultation includes the use of the 3D tool are more satisfied with their breasts and with the decisions they made about their reconstruction procedure.
