Prehydrated human acellular dermal matrix (PHADM) shows comparable outcomes and complication rates to freeze-dried matrices in immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction. This study evaluated PHADM in 121 reconstructions.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Human acellular dermal matrices (HADM) are crucial for immediate tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction, offering support and improving outcomes.
  • While freeze-dried HADM products are established, clinical data on prehydrated human acellular dermal matrix (PHADM) in breast reconstruction is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes and complication rates of prehydrated human acellular dermal matrix (PHADM) in immediate tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 121 consecutive tissue expander reconstructions utilizing PHADM.
  • Analysis of intraoperative fill volumes, expansion requirements, follow-up duration, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • Mean follow-up was 44 weeks; 16.5% of breasts experienced complications (infections, flap necrosis, seromas).
  • 9.1% of breasts required explantation.
  • Patients receiving radiation therapy showed a trend toward higher complication rates (30.8% vs. 13.7%).

Conclusions:

  • Prehydrated human acellular dermal matrix (PHADM) demonstrates clinical outcomes and complication rates comparable to freeze-dried human acellular dermal matrices in breast reconstruction.
  • PHADM is a viable option for immediate tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction.
