Background. One‐stage direct‐to‐implant immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) is
performed simultaneously with breast cancer resection. We explored indications …

Mesh use in surgical breast reconstruction is becoming increasingly common; however,
there is still no consensus on whether synthetic matrices or biological matrices produce the …

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 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 …

In breast conserving surgery, the tumor should be removed with a clean margin, a rim of
healthy tissue surrounding. Failure to achieve clean margins in the initial surgery results in a …

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 …

While autologous breast reconstruction was considered the procedure of choice for
immediate breast reconstruction, there has been a shift towards implant-based breast …

Background/Aim: Clinical data concerning synthetic meshes in comparison to acellular
dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction are limited. Also, direct comparisons …

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 …
