DermACELL Acellular Dermal Matrix in Oncologic Breast Reconstruction: A Cohort Study and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are commonly used in tissue expander and direct-to-implant reconstruction following mastectomy. Few studies have reported outcomes of DermACELL use or compared DermACELL with AlloDerm ADM.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare outcomes between DermACELL and AlloDerm ADM, and a systematic review of the literature with a meta-analysis to evaluate clinical outcomes with DermACELL.

Results

Seventy-four patients (128 breasts) undergoing immediate reconstruction were evaluated retrospectively. Chi-square analysis revealed no sig
