Summary: This study compares the outcomes of implant and synthetic TIGR mesh-based breast reconstructions in breast cancer patients and women with a higher risk for breast cancer. The study found that preoperative chemotherapy was associated with more frequent minor complications, while postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy were related to more frequent serious complications. Patients who underwent prepectoral surgeries had shorter hospitalization time and lower complication rates.

Summary: This study compares the effectiveness of 3DMaxT (R) mesh to TIGR mesh in breast reconstruction surgery and shows that 3DMaxT (R) mesh is not inferior to TIGR mesh in terms of complications. However, patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy and radiotherapy have a higher incidence of long-term complications.

Summary: This study compared three different methods for immediate breast reconstruction and found that MIPLD, MWLD, and BCSPLD all achieved good outcomes and aesthetic effects, with high surgical success rates and no major complications. The 5-year distant metastasis-free survival rate was 94.2%, and patients showed good arm and back function postoperatively, with excellent or good cosmetic outcomes in terms of breast satisfaction according to the BREAST-Q score.

Summary: This study reviewed 43 breast cancer patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. The reconstructed breasts showed natural shape, good symmetry, and hidden postoperative scars, indicating a relatively good aesthetic effect. The success of the procedure depends on the incision design, surgical skill, and correct postoperative treatment.

Summary: This study suggests that immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following mastectomy does not negatively impact locoregional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis (DM) of breast cancer according to molecular subtypes.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the reconstructive outcomes of patients receiving immediate breast reconstruction after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The results showed that immediate breast reconstruction is a safe and reliable procedure with acceptable reconstructive complication rates and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes for patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the oncological safety of MIBR in TNBC patients compared to non-TNBC patients. The results of propensity score-matching analysis showed no significant differences in various aspects, including delays to first radiochemotherapy, postoperative complication rates, and locoregional recurrence rates, between TNBC and non-TNBC patients. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in disease-free interval between TNBC and non-TNBC patients.

Summary: Immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) using acellular dermal matrix is a common method. The study compared patients who had undergone immediate IBBR with Strattice and submuscular coverage and found no significant difference in total complication rate and implant loss rate. However, the Strattice group had higher rates of infection and wound dehiscence, but fewer revision surgeries for capsular contracture.

Summary: This study presents a novel technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction in patients with large ptotic breasts. The technique involves using the pectoral muscle and an autologous dermal flap to cover the implant/tissue expander, eliminating the use of acellular dermal matrix. The results showed successful outcomes with no major complications and only minor complications that were managed conservatively.

Summary: This study evaluated postoperative complications, aesthetic results, and satisfaction outcomes in patients with breast cancer who underwent skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prosthetic reconstruction. The use of a biological mesh during reconstruction resulted in lower implant loss and higher satisfaction rates.

Summary: The study evaluated outcomes of immediate breast reconstruction in patients undergoing bilateral mastectomy and compared complication rates between therapeutic and prophylactic sides. Results showed that the overall complication rate was higher on the therapeutic side compared to the prophylactic side, with infection being the most common complication on both sides.

Summary: The oncological safety of different types and timings of postmastectomy breast reconstruction (PMBR) remains controversial. This study found that delayed autologous PMBR leads to similar (loco)regional recurrence rates as immediate autologous PMBR. Current evidence suggests that oncological concerns should not be a reason to withhold patients from certain reconstructive timings or techniques, and patients should be offered all technically qualified reconstructive options equally.

Summary: This study investigates the reasons why Alberta patients are not receiving immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) as reported by general surgeons. Patient preference, likelihood of postoperative radiation therapy, and patient co-morbidities were the most commonly cited reasons for not undergoing IBR. Resources limitations and lack of IBR discussion were rarely mentioned as reasons for no IBR. Further exploration is needed to better understand the decision-making process behind these reported reasons.

Summary: The study suggests that radiotherapy following immediate autologous breast reconstruction after partial mastectomy can provide satisfactory aesthetic outcomes without significant adverse complications, and can be safely performed. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of reduction in flap size, local recurrence rates, and postoperative complications.

Summary: The study indicates that in young women with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, nipple-sparing/skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction does not negatively impact long-term oncologic outcomes compared to conventional mastectomy.
