A retrospective comparative analysis of risk factors and outcomes in direct-to-implant and two-stages prepectoral breast reconstruction: BMI and radiotherapy as new selection criteria of patients

Recently prepectoral breast reconstruction (PBR) has showed acceptable outcomes in the short-term. There are few evidence on long-term results and variables which could influence surgical safety. So far, no specific guidelines or indications have been developed for prepectoral technique and heterogeneous inclusion criteria had been used in previous reports. This study revises a series of 397 patients.

Subcutaneous expanders and synthetic mesh for breast reconstruction: long-term and patient-reported BREAST-Q outcomes of a single-center prospective study

Summary Recently, prepectoral breast reconstruction is experiencing a revival. Despite the
growing body of early reports about subcutaneous breast reconstruction, literature lacks in
long-term results and studies focusing on patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality
of life.
Between January 2012 and December 2016, patients undergoing mastectomy were enrolled at
our institution. We selected patients diagnosed with breast cancer or genetic predisposition

ADM-assisted prepectoral breast reconstruction and skin reduction mastectomy. Expanding the indications for subcutaneous reconstruction

Backgrounds: Recently a flood of new techniques and studies have been released for prepectoral reconstruction, following strict criteria for selection of patients undergoing skin or nipple sparing mastectomy. Nevertheless a big population of patients that would otherwise benefit from prepectoral techniques has been excluded so far. Patients and methods: Between January 2016 and February 2017, patients undergoing skin reducing mastectomy (SRM) were enrolled at our Institution.
