무세포진피기질 Acellular Dermal Matrix

[BACKGROUND] The incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan has been rising with approximately one third of these patients requiring mastectomy. Among breast reconstruction treatment options, the use of Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) for pre-pec…

[BACKGROUND] Polyurethane (PU)-coated breast implants are known for their strong integration into breast tissue and the formation of capsules around them. However, capsular contracture can pose both aesthetic and clinical challenges. [OBJE…

[BACKGROUND] Hybrid breast reconstruction combines free tissue transfer with implant placement. Various mesh products have been successfully used to secure the implant position in these reconstructions. In this study, the authors investigat…

[INTRODUCTION] With the recent transition to smooth tissue expanders (TEs), functional differences between TE subtypes have not been fully elucidated. This study evaluated the differences in TE characteristics and complications between 2 co…

Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is aesthetically superior to skin-sparing only mastectomy or reconstructed nipples. However, nipple-sparing mastectomy partially preserves nipple ducts, which are remaining communications between the environm…

[SUMMARY] Skin-reducing mastectomy for single-stage reconstruction is an oncologically safe procedure used in women with large and ptotic breasts. This study describes a new technique, the J-pattern skin-reducing breast reconstruction with …

[BACKGROUND] The continuous increase in the rate of nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM), the development of several reconstructive techniques and the following introduction of acellular derma matrix (ADM) has revolutionized implant-based breast…

[BACKGROUND] With the rise in the mastectomy rate, the number of patients who choose to undergo postmastectomy reconstruction has been increasing, and implant-based procedures are the most performed methods for postmastectomy breast reconst…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently employed in immediate prosthesis-based breast reconstruction (iPBR) to provide structural support. Despite differences in ADM derivatives, few studies directly compare their outco…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are sometimes used in implant-based breast reconstructions (IBR), but long-term ADM-related evaluations are scarce. In this study, we evaluated early and late complications and patient-related o…

[BACKGROUND] Absorbable mesh has been used to mitigate the potential drawbacks of acellular dermal matrix (ADM)-based breast reconstruction. Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) has been demonstrated to be a lower-cost, safe, and effective alterna…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been the go-to biomaterial in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, particularly in pre-pectoral reconstruction. ADM is thought to decrease capsular contracture, control the pocket, and increa…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is one of the most common and severe complications after implant-based breast reconstruction. Recently, prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become an alte…

[BACKGROUND] The gold standard for implant-based breast reconstruction uses acellular dermal matrices (ADMs). They provide improved inferolateral pole coverage, reduced capsular contracture rates, and increased primary expander fill volumes…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast augmentation, a popular cosmetic surgery using devices like silicone implants, can lead to a common issue called capsular contracture (CC). This condition involves the formation of fibrous tissue around the implants an…

[BACKGROUND] The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction was described for the first time in 2000s. Recently, ADMs have been used not only in reconstructive surgery but also in cosmetic breast surgery for both primary …

[BACKGROUND] Two-stages pre-pectoral breast reconstruction may confer advantages over direct to implant (DTI) and subpectoral reconstruction in selected patients who have no indication for autologous reconstruction. The primary endpoint of …

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) in patients with large or ptotic breasts remains challenging because of the risk of ischemic complications and the difficulty in managing the redundant skin envelo…

In this article, we present a modification of the NS/SRM technique in which the mastopexy design for skin reduction is undertaken with a wide-base bipedicled (WIBB) flap. The WIBB flap can be applied in both autologous and implant-based bre…

[BACKGROUND] Prepectoral tissue expander (TE) placement for two-stage postmastectomy reconstruction is usually performed in conjunction with insertion of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). However, the effects of ADM use on TE loss or other ear…
