BACKGROUND Acellular dermal matrix has gained widespread acceptance in immediate expander/implant reconstruction because of perceived benefits, including improved expansion dynamics and superior aesthetic results. Although previous investigators have evaluated its risks, few studies have assessed the impact of acellular dermal matrix on other outcomes, including patient-reported measures. MET...

autologous reconstruction as compared with tissue expander reconstruction (4.5 percent versus 2.1 percent; p<0.001). There were significantly more debridements performed in cases where ICG was used (5.6 percent versus 3.2 percent; p<0.001). Use of ICG added a mean charge of $9,080 per reconstruction ($79,242 vs. $70,162; p<0.001); however, it also resulted in a decreased LOS (2.37 days versus 2...

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"), ...
