Polypropylene Mesh in Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction in Vietnamese Early Breast Cancer Patients: Safe and Feasible.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, and breast reconstruction following mastectomy is an integral part of patient care to improve quality of life and aesthetic outcomes. Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) combined with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) with implant is becoming increasingly preferred due to its ability to preserve breast aesthetics. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is commonly used in these procedures, but is often prohibitively expensive, particularly in resource-limited settings like Vietnam.
