Critical Evaluation of Risk Factors and Early Complications in 564 Consecutive Two- Stage Implant- Based Breast Reconstructions Using Acellular Dermal Matrix at a Single Center

摘要

Background: Acellular dermal matrix for implant-based breast reconstruction appears to cause higher early complication rates, but long-term outcomes are perceived to be superior. This dichotomy is the subject of considerable debate. The authors hypothesized that patient characteristics and operative variables would have a greater impact on complications than the type of acellular dermal matrix used.
