Sub-Muscular Direct-to-Implant Immediate Breast Reconstruction in Previously Irradiated Patients Avoiding the Use of ADM: A Preliminary Study
Background: The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary experience of sub-muscular primary direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction without acellular dermal matrix (ADM), after salvage mastectomy for local recurrence following prior irradiation. Methods: A retrospective investigation was...

description | Background: The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary experience of sub-muscular primary direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction without acellular dermal matrix (ADM), after salvage mastectomy for local recurrence following prior irradiation. Methods: A retrospective investigation was performed on a prospectively maintained database of breast reconstruction cases at our institution between January 2015 and December 2020. We considered only immediate DTI breast reconstructions without ADM following radiotherapy and salvage mastectomy for local recurrence, with at least a 12-month follow-up. Results: The study considered 18 female patients with an average of 68 years. According to the BREAST-Q questionnaire, all patients reported high levels of “satisfaction with outcome” with good “psychosocial wellness” and “physical impact” related to the reconstruction. The aesthetic evaluation showed a significant difference between the VAS score gave by the patient (mean 6.9) and the surgeon (mean 5.4). No implant exposure occurred in this series. In terms of complications, four patients (22%) suffered from wound dehiscence and were managed conservatively. Three patients (17%) required primary closure in day surgery following superficial mastectomy flap necrosis. Late capsular contracture was seen in seven patients (four Baker stage II and three Baker stage III, totally 39%); however, no patient was willing to undergo implant exchange. Conclusions: DTI breast reconstruction following prior irradiation can be considered as an option in patients who are not good candidates for autologous breast reconstruction. Our general outcomes compared favorably with literature data regarding the use of staged procedures, with acceptable complication rates and levels of patient satisfaction. |
