Summary
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) can cause complications in breast reconstruction. Imaging like MRI and ultrasonography are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring these ADM complications, aiding patient management.
Area of Science:
- Regenerative medicine
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery
- Medical imaging
Background:
- Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a decellularized dermal tissue allograft used in reconstructive surgery.
- ADM aims to improve breast reconstruction outcomes and reduce complications like capsular contracture.
- Despite benefits, ADM use in breast reconstruction is associated with specific complications.
