Breast reconstruction is part of the therapeutic program in case of breast cancer. Over the years, technical-scientific progress in medical and surgical field has increased the possibilities and the options of post-oncological breast reconstruction.
The use of resorbable acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) has made possible implant positioning in a supramuscular plane (prepectoral breast reconstruction), avoiding the surgical detachment of the Pectoralis Major muscle (muscle sparing), reducing post-surgical pain, bleeding and hospitalization times.
Our Center is one of the main in Italy that performs prepectoral breast reconstruction with acellular dermal matrices, boasting a surgical experience of over 6 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of the post-oncological breast reconstruction with ADM and smooth surface implants in terms of: complication rate such as hematoma, seroma, capsular contracture, infections, wound dehiscence, rippling; aesthetic outcome; patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction (the latters evaluated through specific questionnaires).
