Background Immediate implant reconstruction after a conservative mastectomy is an
attractive option made easier by prosthetic devices. Titanized polypropylene meshes are …

Background: An alternative to implant-based breast reconstruction using acellular dermal
matrix is the use of a titanium-coated polypropylene mesh. The mesh was approved for …

Background: Breast reconstruction is rapidly evolving, because of the changing face of
cancer surgery and the growing acceptance of acellular dermal matrices and synthetic …

Background Comparative studies on the use of meshes and acellular dermal matrices
(ADM) in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) have not yet been performed. Methods …

INTRODUCTION: A new approach for implant based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the use
of a titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM) as an alternative to acellular dermal matrix …

Discussion During the last few years, a change emerged from autologous BR toward implant-
based BR [11]. This resulted on the one hand, from improved surgical techniques and on the …

Background: Complete implant coverage by pectoralis major muscle in immediate breast
reconstruction prevents implant exposure but restricts implant volume, increases the risk of a …

Background: Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction can be achieved more easily by means
of soft-tissue replacement devices such as dermal matrices and synthetic meshes. The …

Background: Breast reconstruction is most frequently performed using implants or
expanders. Adjunctive materials such as acellular dermal matrix and synthetic meshes are …

Background The current standard of care for breast implant reconstruction after mastectomy
is 2-stage reconstruction with placement of tissue expanders followed by implants. The …
