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

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

Background: The development of acellular dermal matrices has revolutionized implant-
based breast reconstruction. The most recent development has been the introduction of …

Background: Recent advances in mastectomy and reconstruction have allowed for an
evolution in implant-based breast reconstruction to a muscle-sparing, prepectoral approach …

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

Background: Prosthetic breast reconstruction with prepectoral placement may confer clinical
advantages compared with subpectoral placement. The purpose of this study was to assess …

Background The breast reconstructive subpectoral technique commonly leads to functional
consequences. Recently, a new conservative prepectoral breast reconstruction (PPBR) …

Background: Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction offers the intuitive advantages of
shortening the reconstructive process and reducing costs. In the authors' practice, direct-to …

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 …
