Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction in Morbidly Obese Patients.

Unlabelled: Prosthetic breast reconstruction via the subpectoral approach in morbidly obese patients (body mass index: ≥40 kg/m) has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications and poor outcomes. Further, immediate reconstruction appears to carry a higher risk of poor outcomes than delayed reconstruction in this population. The impact of morbid obesity on outcomes after prepectoral breast reconstruction has not yet been evaluated, and such was the purpose of this study.
