Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Breast Surgery

Background:

  • Prepectoral prosthetic breast reconstruction has gained popularity.
  • Early attempts faced challenges, but advancements in implants, fat grafting, and acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have improved outcomes.
  • Modern techniques address previous shortcomings, offering better aesthetic results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history and evolution of prepectoral breast reconstruction.
  • To describe various techniques for integrating acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in prepectoral reconstruction.
  • To highlight the benefits of prepectoral reconstruction over dual-plane methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical data and advancements in breast reconstruction techniques.
  • Description of in vivo and ex vivo methods for ADM (acellular dermal matrix) inset.
  • Discussion of prefabricated ADM-implant constructs for surgical efficiency.

Main Results:

  • Prepectoral reconstruction mitigates animation deformities and muscle tightness.
  • Improved implants, fat grafting, and ADMs lead to successful early outcomes.
  • Various ADM (acellular dermal matrix) inset techniques, both in vivo and ex vivo, are employed.

Conclusions:

  • Prepectoral breast reconstruction offers reproducible and outstanding aesthetic outcomes.
  • The use of ADM (acellular dermal matrix) is crucial for successful prepectoral reconstruction.
  • Techniques involving prefabricated ADM constructs can decrease operative time and enhance surgical efficiency.
