Background: The cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) have recently gained increasing attention, and surgeons are exploring the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a safe and effective method of breast reconstruction. This study evaluated the clinical progress of patients with breast cancer following the application of sheet-type ADM for breast reconstruction after BCS.
Methods: This retrospective study included 137 patients who underwent BCS using ADM at a single center between October 2019 and October 2021. During surgery, sheet-type ADM was folded and inserted into the excised defects. Complications and cancer recurrence were evaluated during surveillance follow-up until December 2023, and maintenance of the inserted ADM was quantitatively compared using volume analysis of the first and last follow-up computed tomography (CT).
Results: Of the 137 evaluated patients, 16 (11.6%) had minor complications, and 17 (12.4%) underwent biopsy during the surveillance period. One patient was diagnosed with recurrence. ADM volume was measured in 55 patients. The mean volume reduction between the first and last CT scans was 1.81 ± 2.06 cm³ (a decrease of 17.42 ± 19.82%), which was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: The insertion of ADM after BCS is a safe and effective method for addressing volume defects, even though a slight reduction occurs in ADM volume.

Background: Breast implants (BIs) lead to the formation of a periprosthetic capsule, causing complications like capsular contracture. Gel bleeding, involving minor silicone gel leakage through the intact implant shell, significantly promotes capsular contracture. Various pharmacological and surface treatment strategies have been explored to mitigate these issues.

Purpose: Although there may be benefits to adult patients who have had Chiari surgery when duroplasty is indicated, there are also more risks involved. The complications derived from a non-hermetic dural closure in the posterior fossa can be significant, mainly cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, meningitis and pseudomeningocele. We explored the option of utilizing a different duroplasty that we typically utilized in order to reduce these risks.

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.

Objective: The aim of this in vivo study is to compare cartilage viability within diced cartilage grafts from the perspective of three wrapping biomaterials Group A acellular dermal matrix (FlexHD®), Group T bovine pericardium (Tutopatch®), and Group F allogeneic human fascia for a possible implementation in the clinical use.
Materials And Methods: This in vivo study was conducted on 5 SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)/Gamma Mice with a duration of eight weeks. The cartilage within composite grafts were obtained from the remaining cartilage following secondary rhinoplasty performed on a single donor.
