This is a common problem in women, and concerns were encountered by cosmetic surgeons the worldwide. Deep connective tissue in the back attachments to the underlying muscle and/or periosteum divide the fat deposits on the back into multiple visual compartments. Their nomenclature is based on the anatomical area from where they have originated. The skin-fat envelope is held in place by facial attachments that are named the "zones of adherence".\n\nThe extent of fat deposits and number of back rolls, as well as skin laxicity, varies from person to person and also from one side to the other. The rolls surely have a zone of adherence inferiorly over which the tissue fold hangs and medially in the midline. Treatment modalities for back rolls depend on the above-mentioned variables and involve three general approaches:\n\n1. Suction-assisted Liposuction along alone or with other modalities of skin tightening as VASER or J-Plasma ;\n2. Direct surgical excision of the skin fold as an upper back lift.\n3. Non- surgical: Injection lipolysis in association with weight loss. The choice of treatment depends on the specific characteristic of the back roll; hence, a classification to grade the extent of back roll would help in guiding the surgeon to choose the best possible option.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Female patients aged 18 to 50 years old.\n* Any grad of back rolls\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* patients outside the selected age range\n* Abnormal laboratory tests (in particular, glucose \\>105 g/dL, hemoglobin \\<12 g/dL, platelets \\<150,000)\n* significant systemic diseases.\n* previous liposuction or other back surgeries.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07051759', 'acronym': 'Back rolls', 'briefTitle': 'Back Rolls Assessment', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assiut University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Assessment of Back Rolls and Algorithm of Management', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Back rolls assessment'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'patients with back rolls who undergo the back contouring surgery', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Back contouring surgery']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Back contouring surgery', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'otherNames': ['Back liposuction', 'Bra line back lift'], 'description': 'Back rolls are assessed, and the type of surgery is determined according to grade of back rolls.', 'armGroupLabels': ['patients with back rolls who undergo the back contouring surgery']}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO', 'description': 'The majority of patients involved in this type of research are unwilling to disclose personal details beyond the scope of the study itself.'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Hager Montaser Sayed Bedeer', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Principal Investigator', 'investigatorFullName': 'Hager Montaser Sayed Bedeer', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Assiut University'}}}}
