AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: There is limited evidence available in the literature with regard to the complication profile of mastectomy and immediate prosthetic reconstruction in augmented patients.
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare postoperative complications between women with vs without prior augmentation undergoing skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate prosthetic reconstruction.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in February 2020 for studies comparing women with vs without prior augmentation undergoing skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate prosthetic reconstruction with documentation of postoperative complications. Outcomes analyzed included early, late, and overall complications. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were obtained through meta-analysis.
Results: Our meta-analysis, which included 6 studies comparing 241 breasts with prior augmentation and 1441 without, demonstrated no significant difference between the 2 groups in rates of early (36.7% vs 24.8%: OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 0.94-2.64; P = 0.09), late (10.1% vs 19.9%: OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.06-4.89; P = 0.57), and overall complications (36.5% vs 31.2%: OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.76-2.00; P = 0.40). Subgroup analysis showed a significantly higher rate of hematoma formation in the augmented group (3.39% vs 2.15%: OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.00-7.16; P = 0.05), but no difference in rates of seroma, infection, mastectomy skin flap necrosis, and prosthesis loss.
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis suggests that prior augmentation does not significantly increase overall postoperative complications in women undergoing skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate prosthetic reconstruction. However, the significantly higher rate of hematoma formation in augmented patients warrants further investigation and preoperative discussion.

Size Does Matter: Mastectomy Flap Thickness as an Independent Decisional Factor for the Peri-Prosthetic Device Choice in Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction.

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.

Background: Two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction involves the exchange of tissue expanders for implants, but complications of this procedure can necessitate revision surgeries and implant removal. The choice between remote incision (RI) and traditional access via existing mastectomy scars (MS) for this exchange remains underexplored. RIs offer potential benefits by placing the incision at a region of higher quality tissue, prompting our comparative analysis of complications between RI and MS.

Background: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database provides an important resource for determining complication rates and risk factors for surgical procedures. However, NSQIP is limited to 30-day follow-up, and it is unclear whether this is reliable for evaluating prosthetic breast reconstruction outcomes.
Methods: A single-institution, cross-sectional, retrospective review was performed for patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate, prepectoral tissue expander reconstruction.

: The reconstruction of large breasts carries a heightened risk profile. While skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) techniques facilitate the correction of breast ptosis, they are frequently associated with a high incidence of vascular complications. This study compares two SRM techniques-the horizontal incision and the classic inverted T incision-by examining their clinical and surgical outcomes.

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) was originally developed to enhance prosthetic control in amputees. However, it has also serendipitously demonstrated benefits in reducing phantom pain and neuromas. As a result, it has emerged as a secondary treatment for chronic neuromas in amputees and holds promise for managing neuropathic pain in non-amputee patients, particularly those with neuromas.
