Background: The advantages of hybrid breast reconstruction (ie, the combination of free
tissue transfer with simultaneous implant placement) are well known. In an attempt to further …

Background: The direct-to-implant method depends on the quality of the mastectomy flaps
and can be used only when the flaps are adequately perfused. Even though the method was …

Background: Ideally, breast reconstruction is performed at the time of mastectomy in a single
stage with minimal scarring. However, postoperative complications with direct-to-implant …

Background: Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common reconstructive
approach after mastectomy. Prepectoral implants offer advantages over submuscular …

Background: Staged subpectoral expander-implant breast reconstruction is widely
performed. Disruption of the pectoralis major origin and the frequent occurrence of …

Background: Prepectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction has historically been fraught
with complications, including flap necrosis, implant extrusion, and capsular contracture …

Background In recent years, breast implants have been frequently placed in the
subcutaneous pocket, in the so-called prepectoral approach. We report our technique of …

Background Given the current trends in skin preservation during mastectomy, improved
biofilm reduction algorithms, and advancements in tissue bioengineering and perfusion …

Implant-based breast reconstruction is currently performed with placement of the implant in a
subpectoral pocket beneath the pectoralis major muscle, by means of the dual-plane …

Background: Continued evolution of implant-based breast reconstruction involves
immediate placement of the implant above the pectoralis muscle. The shift to prepectoral …
