Background: Implant-based reconstruction is the most frequently performed breast
reconstruction procedure. A persistent issue with this approach is optimizing outcomes in the …

Background: A 2010 nationwide survey of plastic and reconstructive surgeons indicated that
approximately 83 percent performed predominantly implant-based breast reconstruction …

Background: Acellular dermal matrices can be combined with implant-based breast
reconstruction to help optimize outcomes. SurgiMend PRS is a fetal bovine dermis–derived …

Background Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) use in implant-based breast reconstruction has
been associated with higher rates of postoperative seroma and infection. This follow-up …

Background: Although many studies have examined the safety of acellular dermal matrix in
immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction, few studies have evaluated efficacy. This study …

Background: Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction is a predictable, reliable, and cost-
effective reconstruction. Most units performing direct-to-implant reconstructions recommend …

Background: Complete submuscular tissue expander coverage affords the best protection
against implant exposure but restricts lower pole expansion. Techniques using acellular …

Background: The advent of skin-and nipple-sparing mastectomy in conjunction with the use
of human acellular dermal matrix to provide lower pole coverage has made direct-to-implant …

Background: Acellular dermal matrix has become a frequent adjunct to traditional expander-
based breast reconstruction. Its putative advantages include improved positioning of the …

Summary AlloDerm RTU® and AlloMaxTM are two acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) used
in implant-based breast reconstruction. In this study, we examined whether different …
