Background: Infectious complications associated with implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) can be devastating and may lead to reconstructive failure. While there are known demographic risk factors for reconstructive failure, few studies have identified intraoperative findings that predict failure after attempted salvage.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify intraoperative findings in infected breasts that may be predictive of implant failure.

Background: Ring 18 chromosome is a rare chromosomal aberration associated with a wide range of symptoms affecting all organ systems. One possible symptom associated with this condition is an orofacial cleft. However, to date, there are very few reported cases where the cleft has been surgically treated.

Large-scale defects of body in the reconstructive surgical practice, and the helplessness of their repair with autologous tissues, have been an important factor in the development of artificial biological products for the temporary, definitive, or staged repair of these defects. A major advance in the field of plastic and other reconstructive surgery in this regard has been the introduction and successful use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs). In recent years, not only the type of tissue from which ADMs are produced, product range, diversity and areas of use have increased, but their use in reconstructive fields, especially in post oncologic breast surgery, has become highly regarded and this has favored ADMs to be a potential cornerstone in specific and well-defined surgical fields in future.

In alloplastic breast reconstruction, the choice of implant positioning and the selection of periprosthetic devices is a critical and challenging decision. Surgeons must navigate between various biologic and synthetic meshes, including acellular dermal matrices (ADM). This study aimed to propose a simple selection tool for periprosthetic devices in prepectoral breast reconstruction.

Implant-based breast reconstruction has been essential since the 1960s, offering a faster and less invasive alternative to autologous reconstruction. Recent innovations-including direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction, advancements in surgical planes, synthetic meshes, and nipple-areolar complex (NAC) neurotization-have improved patient outcomes. This review explores these developments, analyzing their impact on breast reconstruction over the past two decades.
