Abstract: Complications Following Two-Stage Expander Implant Breast Reconstruction: A Critical Analysis of Outcomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
patients intuitive advantages of a shortened operative process and quality of life benefits compared with traditional tissue expanders and implants (TE/I); however, the literature suggests that DTI is fraught with complications and revision rates as high as 85% in some reports. We sought to better understand our breast patients by comparing DTI and TE/I, focusing on these two potential downsides: complications and revision rates.

Prepectoral breast reconstruction is increasingly popular. This study compares complications between 2 subpectoral and 1 prepectoral breast reconstruction technique. METHODS Between 2008 and 2015, 294 two-staged expander breast reconstructions in 213 patients were performed with 1 of 3 surgical techniques: (1) Prepectoral, (2) subpectoral with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) sling ("Classic"), ...
متن کاملOutcomes of immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction followed by reconstruction of choice in the setting of postmastectomy radiation therapy: reply.
A common sequence for performing staged tissue expander breast reconstruction is to immediately insert a tissue expander, complete expansion before radiotherapy, and then perform the definitive reconstruction after radiotherapy is complete. This study evaluates the outcomes of this treatment regimen in 237 patients over a 10-year period at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Overall, 62% of the pat...
متن کاملImmediate 1-stage vs. tissue expander postmastectomy implant breast reconstructions: a retrospective real-world comparison over 18 months.
BACKGROUND Postmastectomy implant breast reconstruction is typically accomplished in a two-stage process involving a tissue expander that is later exchanged for a permanent implant. Adoption of an immediate one stage reconstruction (1-stage) approach, where feasible, has been slowed by surgeon perception that this method is less likely to achieve acceptable results. METHODS To compare outcome...

BACKGROUND The two-stage tissue expander/implant (TE/I) reconstruction is currently the gold standard method of implant-based immediate breast reconstruction in North America. Recently, however, there have been numerous case series describing the use of one-stage direct to implant reconstruction with the aid of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). In order to rigorously investigate the novel applicat...
متن کاملTracking the aesthetic outcomes of prosthetic breast reconstructions that have complications.
BACKGROUND Aesthetic results following breast reconstruction have been shown to be a major contributor to patient satisfaction. While many presume that complications after reconstruction impact final aesthetic results, little data exist to substantiate this putative relationship. OBJECTIVE To track and evaluate aesthetic outcomes following implant reconstructions with complications. METHODS...
