Reduction in Seroma and Other Complications with a Novel Internal Negative Pressure System in Breast Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Seroma, along with other complications, occurs as a result of poor wound healing following breast reconstructive surgery. The Interi System was developed to address the need for more effective approaches to close internal dead space and evacuate postsurgical fluid. Interi is an internal negative pressure delivery system with a unique branching manifold for broad coverage of internal tissue planes. Initial experience in a small cohort undergoing prepectoral breast reconstruction showed a clinical and statistically significant reduction in seroma and any complication versus standard drains. The purpose of this study is to report on the safety and effectiveness of Interi, compared with standard drains, in a larger patient population followed up over a longer period than our
