Acellular bovine pericardium matrix in immediate breast reconstruction compared with conventional implant-based breast reconstruction

Abstract: Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) Assisted Implant-Based Immediate Breast Reconstruction with Latissimus Dorsi Flap

INTRODUCTION: Pre-pectoral breast reconstruction is an emerging technique with potential benefits that include reduced pain, early patient recovery and no hyperanimation. There are studies reporting on clinical outcomes with pre-pectoral technique [PP] and comparing it to the dual plane technique [DP] in breast reconstruction. The goal of this study is to provide an early assessment of outcomes...

Immediate implant based breast reconstruction using the TIGR ® Matrix

The use of acellular dermal or synthetic matrices has improved the functional and cosmetic outcome of implant based breast reconstruction. The new materials provide additional tissue for implant coverage (comparable to an internal supportive bra) and allow reconstruction of larger breast volumes, a more pronounced ptosis and control of the inframammary fold. However, there are major concerns re...

Abstract: Two-Stage Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction is Safer Than Immediate One-Stage Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction Augmented with an Acellular Dermal Matrix: A Multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial

Methods: Following approval by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Institutional Review Board, a retrospective review was performed identifying patients who underwent unilateral breast reconstruction using a double pedicle DIEP flap by a single two-surgeon team. Data was collected on patient characteristics, pre-operative risk factors, and post-operative complications. Data was analyzed...

Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction with Acellular Dermal Matrix

Acellular dermal matrix in primary breast reconstruction.

The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in many plastic surgery procedures, including breast reconstruction, has increased dramatically in recent years. While expander/implant reconstruction can be performed successfully with standard techniques, the introduction of ADM has added a new tool with which to achieve lasting, predictable results. This article is a summary of existing literature on ...
