Background and objectives: Breast cancer treatment has deeply changed in the last fifty
years. Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) were introduced for breast reconstruction, with …

Background Animation deformity is a direct consequence of subpectoral implant placement
for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Current treatment options ameliorate but do …

Background Although the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has increased exponentially,
debates regarding its safety are still ongoing. There have been several meta-analyses; …

Replicating the nanostructured components of extracellular matrix is a target for dermal
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Electrospinning Bombyx mori silk fibroin …

Purpose This meta-analysis provides a large-scale comparison of prepectoral vs.
subpectoral implant-based breast reconstruction, with primary outcomes of patient safety …

Breasts reconstructed with implants, following mastectomy, lack the soft-tissue envelope of
natural breasts. Further implant-related complications such as implant visibility …

Background: Acellular dermal matrix has enjoyed extensive use in primary and secondary
alloplastic breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The objective of this study was to …

The authors present a review of biomaterials, substances traditionally derived from human
or animal tissue or, more recently, biodegradable synthetics modeled after naturally …

Of the nearly 90,000 implant-based breast reconstructions performed in the United States,
the majority use internal soft-tissue support. Aesthetically, these constructs may allow for …

Background Prepectoral prosthetic-based breast reconstruction has become increasingly
popular as an alternative to the partial or total submuscular approach. Potential issues with …
