Evaluation of a novel breast reconstruction technique using the Braxon (R) acellular dermal matrix: a new muscle-sparing breast reconstruction

摘要

Background: Implant-based breast reconstruction is becoming increasingly popular because of the widespread adoption of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), which allows surgeons to obtain good aesthetic results with fewer operations. To develop more conservative surgical techniques, a retrospective, three-centre, proof-of-concept study was performed to study the effectiveness of a new, immediate, muscle-sparing breast reconstruction technique using the patented Braxon (R) ADM, which enables subcutaneous positioning of the breast implant without detaching the pectoralis major.
