A Comparison of Ovine-Reinforced Hybrid Mesh (OviTex PRS) With Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix (STRATTICE) in the Treatment of Advanced Breast Implant Capsular Contracture.

Background: Tissue reinforcement techniques with porcine acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been widely adopted as standard care in treating capsular contracture. However, the application of alternative xenograft or mesh materials has not been widely studied.

Objectives: To examine the efficacy of OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix (Resorbable) (TELA Bio, Malvern, PA), a hybrid ovine-reinforced mesh, in comparison with STRATTICE Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (Allergan, Irvine, CA), in patients with advanced capsular contracture.

A morphometric study of the external ear: age- and sex-related differences.

The human ear is a defining feature of the face. Its subtle structures convey signs of age and sex that are unmistakable yet not easily defined. With analysis of normative cross-sectional data, this study explored anatomic and aesthetic differences in the ear between men and women, as well as changes in ear morphology with age.
