A retrospective study on surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction of EGIS® ADM in one-stage implant-based breast reconstruction

Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the most performed breast reconstruction method. It is performed either as a one-stage (i.e. direct-to-implant) or two-stage (expander/implant) procedure. In both methods, an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) can be used. The ADM provides support of the implant and improves implant coverage, which facilitates a one-stage reconstruction and results in a more natural ptotic breast.1 Reported complication rates after IBBR with an ADM vary widely, from less than 5% up to 50%.
