Clinical progression following acellular dermal matrix use for volume replacement after breast-conserving surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) have recently gained increasing attention, and surgeons are exploring the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a safe and effective method of breast reconstruction. This study evaluated the clinical progress of patients with breast cancer following the application of sheet-type ADM for breast reconstruction after BCS.

Methods

This retrospective study included 137 patients who underwent BCS using ADM at a single center between October 2019 and October 2021. During surgery, sheet-type ADM was folded and inserted into the excised defects. Complications and cancer recurrence were evaluated during surveillance follow-up until December 2023, and maintenance of the inserted ADM was quantitatively compared us
