Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Implant-based breast reconstruction is a common oncologic procedure following mastectomy.
  • Advancements in oncology, breast implants, and acellular dermal matrices have improved outcomes.
  • The dual plane approach (subpectoral implant placement) has been standard but can cause complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the emergence and evolution of prepectoral breast reconstruction.
  • To outline the indications and contraindications for the prepectoral approach.
  • To review surgical procedures and outcomes associated with prepectoral reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the development and application of the prepectoral technique.
  • Discussion of patient selection criteria for prepectoral breast reconstruction.
  • Analysis of surgical techniques and reported outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The prepectoral approach addresses pain and animation deformity associated with muscle manipulation.
  • Outcomes of prepectoral reconstruction are comparable to subpectoral methods in select patients.
  • Successful prepectoral surgery necessitates careful consideration of surgical factors.

Conclusions:

  • Prepectoral breast reconstruction is a viable alternative for select patients.
  • This technique offers potential benefits over traditional subpectoral approaches.
  • Further evaluation of patient selection and surgical considerations is ongoing.
