ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to determine rates of overall complications and failure of prepectoral breast reconstruction between various types of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs). BACKGROUND: Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common reconstructive technique after mastectomy in the United States. Traditionally, the reconstruction has been performed in the subpectoral plane; however, there has been an emerging interest in prepectoral reconstruction using ADM. Human (hADM), porcine (pADM), and bovine (bADM) ADMs are available for use, but little is known about the benefits and complication profiles of each for prepectoral breast reconstruction. METHODS: Studies examining complications after the use of ADM for prepectoral breast reconstruction were identified using MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, LILACS, and the Web of Science from January 2010 to August 2021. Titles and abstracts of 1838 studies were screened, followed by full-text screening of 355 articles. Thirty-three studies were found to meet inclusion criteria. RESULTS: From the 33 studies, 6046 prepectoral reconstructions were examined. Implant loss was comparable across the different types of ADM (pADM, 4.0%; hADM, 4.0%; bADM, 3.7%). Bovine ADM had the highest rate of capsular contracture (6.1%), infection (9.0%), skin flap necrosis (8.3%), dehiscence (5.4%), and hematoma (6.1%) when compared with both hADM and pADM. Human ADM had the highest rate of postoperative seroma (5.3%), followed by pADM (4.6%) and bADM (4.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Among the prepectoral breast reconstruction studies using hADM, pADM, or bADM included in our analysis, complication profiles were similar. Bovine ADM had the highest proportion of breast complications in the following categories: capsular contracture, infection rate, skin flap necrosis, dehiscence, and hematoma. Implant loss was comparable across the cohorts. Overall, prepectoral breast reconstruction using ADM leads to relatively low complication rates with the highest rates within the bADM cohort.

ABSTRACT

Robust, reliable, and reproducible closure of lumbosacral myelomeningocele defects remains a challenge. In infants with lumbosacral myelomeningocele defects, multiple methods of soft tissue coverage have been described. These include various cutaneous, fascial, and muscle flaps and grafts. This is done with relative ease when ample soft tissue is present but becomes extremely difficult for large and distally located defects. We present here our closure technique of lumbosacral myelomeningocele defects in newborns, with associated short- and medium-term outcomes. We demonstrate the anatomy of this technique with fresh cadaver dissection and present a review of demographic and outcome data of 12 consecutive patients treated with this method from June 2014 to August 2019. No major intra- or postoperative complications have been encountered, with a mean follow-up of 22.2 months and median follow up of 18 months. After the neurosurgical repair of lumbosacral myelomeningocele, bilateral composite fascial flaps composed of thoracolumbar and gluteus maximus fascia are elevated in continuity. The paraspinous muscle flaps are then elevated, disinserted distally, and medialized to provide complete muscular coverage of the dural repair. The bilateral composite fascial flaps are medialized and closed over the deep paraspinous muscle flap repair. Two patients experienced areas of small, superficial skin necrosis, one of which healed by secondary intention and the other by debridement and full-thickness skin grafting. Use of bilateral paraspinous muscle flaps and bilateral composite fascial flaps composed of thoracolumbar and gluteus maximus fascia provides robust coverage of lumbosacral defects following myelomeningocele repair in infants.
