Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction: Early and Long-Term Complications and Outcomes of Total Coverage Acellular Dermal Matrix and Implants Vs Polyurethane-Coated Implants Without Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction has emerged as a prominent alternative to subpectoral techniques, offering favorable outcomes in selected patients. Among available options, implant coverage with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and the use of polyurethane (PU)-coated implants without ADM represent 2 widely adopted strategies.

Objectives

The aim of the authors this study is to examine the comparative efficacy and complication profiles of implant coverage with ADM and the use of PU-coated implants without ADM.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 97 patients (135 breasts) undergoing immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction following nipple-sparing, skin-sparing, or skin-reducing mastectomy between April 2015 and October 2019. Patients
