Postoperative Outcomes in Prepectoral Versus Retropectoral Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction Across Body Mass Index Categories.

Background: Prepectoral (PP) immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is gaining popularity over the retropectoral (RP) breast reconstruction technique. This study aims to compare complication rates across different body mass index (BMI) groups in patients undergoing PP or RP IBBR.

Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent mastectomy and IBBR from January 2018 to December 2023.

Efficacy and Safety of Low Molecular Weight Heparin and Mechanical Thromboprophylaxis in Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective Comparative Analysis.

Background/aim: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is widely employed to prevent postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aimed at analyzing LMWH use and evaluating its efficacy and safety in immediate implant-based post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

Patients And Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) from January 2021 to December 2023.

Does prepectoral placement delay adjuvant therapies compared to retropectoral immediate implant-based breast reconstruction? A retrospective analysis.

Background: Prepectoral (PP) immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is becoming increasingly popular compared to retropectoral (RP) reconstruction. This study compares the timing of administration of different adjuvant therapy (ATs) after PP or RP IBBR.

Patients And Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing mastectomy and IBBR from January 2018 to December 2023.
