The Effect of a Post-operative Exercise Programme Versus Standard Care on Physical Fitness of Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) Flap Reconstruction Surgery (EXERCISE DIEP)

2026年6月23日 更新者：Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland

All patients undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer should be offered the option of reconstructive surgery. The Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap or DIEP reconstruction as it is commonly referred to, is becoming the favoured reconstruction by both patients and surgeons as it gives a great cosmetic outcome as well as being a good option for patients who may have to undergo radiotherapy treatment after their surgery.

Exercise has been demonstrated in previous research to improve tolerance of treatment (particularly chemotherapy), post operative fatigue and the overall quality of life in patients undergoing cancer treatment. Furthermore, it has shown to improve survival in patients who are being treated for breast cancer. The investigators are undertaking this study to investigate whether a structured exercise programme will improve patients fitness after surgery and ultimately improve their recovery after their reconstructive surgery. To do this, half of the people taking part will be undertaking a structured exercise programme and the other half will not and will be assessing which group recover better after their surgery. Currently, no breast reconstruction patients in Ireland are receiving a formal "exercise prescription" after their surgery so will be looking to see if this helps people recover better before it is made standard care for every breast patient in Ireland.

详细说明

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the impact of a structured, post-operative exercise programme on patient-reported and functional outcomes following DIEP flap breast reconstruction.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To examine the effects of the exercise programme on upper and lower limb strength, body composition (BMI, fat and muscle mass, bone density), and functional recovery.
  • To evaluate the influence of exercise on post-operative complication rates, length of hospital stay and time to return to daily activities.
  • To explore changes in psychological health and body image perception using validated questionnaires.
  • To assess adherence, feasibility, and safety of the structured exercise programme within a breast reconstruction population.
  • To perform an exploratory health-economic analysis comparing the costs and potential healthcare savings associated with the intervention versus standard care.
