Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparing the results of reduction mammoplasty in two medial and superior methods and checking the sensation, blood supply and scar condition
Design
Two groups, one with the superior method and the other with the medial method. This double-blind trial will be randomized by block method, and parallel groups will be evaluated after examining and measuring sensation in the operated breast area, and the sensation, scar condition, and blood supply to the breast after surgery will be evaluated.
Settings and conduct
Before surgery, sensation measurement is done on both breasts of the patients. This work will be done using monofilament kit and TOPD test method. This work will be done in Hazrat Fatemeh Hospital and on all patients who are candidates for breast reduction surgery, and then the surgical method will be performed by randomizing into two groups with the superior and medial pedicle method, and after that, the sensation, scar condition, and blood supply condition will be measured again.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: women for reduction mammoplasty from 30 to 60 years old Patients who signed informed consent to enter the study Exclusion criteria: Patients who have already had breast surgery Patients with underlying or neurological diseases Patients with breast cancer
Intervention groups
It includes two groups of 16 people, the first group will be operated with the medial method and the second group with the superior method.
Main outcome variables
The degree of sensitivity in the areolar and skin and nipple, nipple blood supply condition, scar condition

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization is done by blocks method. For this purpose, blocks of four are prepared, the name of the intervention is written on two papers and the name of the comparison is written on the other two papers. The researcher knows that the intervention group is medial and the comparison group is superior. The papers are piled up and placed in the envelope, and one paper is pulled out for each patient. Then four papers are not returned to the envelope and this process is repeated until the sample volume is reached
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
One strain is blinded and the data and outcome assessor who records sensory results and other criteria after and before surgery is unaware of the type of surgery

Description
میزان حساسیت
Timepoint
Before surgery and after surgery in the first, third and sixth month
Method of measurement
Using monofilament kit and tow point discrimination test method. In the monofilament method, this sensory test is performed by an evaluator in a standard way. Seven points on the chest are tested. These areas include one point in each quadrant (points 1 to 4), one point on the upper pole of the areola (point 5), one point on the lower pole of the areola (point 6), and one point on the nipple (point 7).
