TiLoop Bra Assisted Breast Reconstruction - Our Experience

Additional covering of the lower pole with allomaterial or its synthetic analogues during immediate breast reconstruction is being perfomed at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Oncology Center, Ministry of Healthcare of Russian Federation for last 7 years. Initially, epidermal flap was the only option for lower pole coverage, later ADM was used as part of clinical approbation. Average complication rate ranges from 20-35% due to blood circulatory (supply) disorders. Since 2018, a titanized mesh (TiLoop Bra) been used as a additional coverage of the lower pole. Methods: From July 2018 to April 2019, 103 breast reconstructions were performed using TiLoop-BRA mesh. All operations were performed due to malignant tumors of breast, of which in 94 operations were performed for unilateral breast carcinoma, 9 for bilateral breast carcinoma.74 patients received neoadjuvant therapy, 31 received adjuvant therapy, 17 patients required radiation therapy. Results: Overall complications rates significally decreased. Complete loss of breast implant and mesh endoprosthesis 5.88%, Capsular contracture 17.65 %, Only mesh removal due to painful syndrome 5.88%,* Red breast * syndrome (by analogy with ADM) 5.88%.
