breast reconstruction. Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are commonly used in these …

Partial muscle coverage with the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become
commonplace in implant-based breast reconstruction. 1-8 Compared with total submuscular …

Methods A retrospective 2-group comparative chart review study was performed (June 2015–

Implant-based reconstruction continues to be the most commonly performed procedure for
postmastectomy breast reconstruction in the United States, with over 103,000 cases …

Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is on the rise because of the advantages
related to preservation of the pectoralis major muscle. Indeed, this reconstructive procedure …

Background: The development of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) has facilitated single-
stage implant breast reconstruction (IBR) following skin-sparing mastectomy. The …

Background: Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction provides an alternative to
submuscular reconstruction, but the increased acellular dermal matrix (ADM) required has …

Human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) can augment prepectoral prosthetic-based direct-to-
implant breast reconstruction by providing an additional soft-tissue layer between breast …

The pectoralis major muscle is released inferiorly and medially. The position of the lateral
breast fold is then determined. The width of the pocket is measured and the expander is …
