Objective:
To review the application progress of non-biological meshes for breast reconstruction (BR).
Methods:
The related home and abroad researches in BR were reviewed and summarized.
Results:
Non-biological meshes can be divided into degradable and nondegradable. The former has many types, whether its degradation rate can match with the grow rate of repair tissue will significantly affect the wound healing and tissue intergradation. TiLOOP, on behalf of the latter, has a good postoperative performance due to its nano TiO 2 layer, lightness and flexibility. Non-biological meshes have been gradually used to cover and fix implant in BR. Compared with biological meshes, non-biological meshes are cheaper and have a more positive postoperative performance generally, but definite comparison can't be concluded due to the limited data.
Conclusion:
As non-biological meshes are applied to BR preliminarily, their effectiveness are still needed to be observed further.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
