Zusammenfassung: | Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is an alternative to subpectoral/dual-plane reconstruction.
This study examined outcomes of prepectoral reconstruction using a meta-analysis of data pooled with data from our previous review. Thirty studies were included.
Explantation, seroma, and infection were the most common complications with no animation deformity reported. Significantly lower odds of infection were observed with prepectoral compared with dual-plane reconstruction.
Current literature suggests that prepectoral reconstruction may be associated with lower rates of postsurgical infections. |
