Breast reconstruction with tissue expanders • Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) is a relatively recent adjuncttoimplant-based breast reconstruction • Suggested benefits include: • Prevention of implant exposure • Improved control of the inframammary fold • Improved aesthetics, with a more natural ptosis • Improved expansion dynamics
Reported complication rates with ADM * Denotes statistical significance ★ No statistical comparison was made
Research question What are the complication risks associated with acellular dermal matrix use?
Methods • Design: retrospective database review • Setting:postmastectomyTE/I breast reconstructions at a single center between 2004 and 2009 • Samplesize • ADM: 105 breasts (77 patients) • non-ADM: 161 breasts (105 patients) • Statistical analysis • Descriptive statistics, Student’s t-, and Fisher’s Exact • Multivariate logistic regression
Model parameters: predictor variables • Age • BMI • Tobacco • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation • Postop chemotherapy and radiation • ADM use • Indication for mastectomy • Time between stages • JP drain duration • Mastectomy specimen weight • Tissue expander size • Intraoperative fill volume
Modelparameters: outcome variables • Infection • Mastectomy skin necrosis • Seroma • Hematoma • Capsular contracture • Expander explantation due to infection • Reoperation due to complications
Results: baseline patient characteristics * Denotes statistical significance
Results:univariate analysis * Denotes statistical significance
Results: multivariate regression model • Significant independent predictors of infection:
Results: multivariate regression model • Significant independent predictors of seroma formation:
Conclusions • Acellular dermal matrix is associated with increased risk of infection and seroma, independent of other factors influencing operative outcome • Proposed benefits of ADM must be weighed against the risk of increased complications
Minimizing future complications • Understanding the etiology of complications • Refinement of surgical and postoperative care protocols to avoid complications with ADM • Utilizing risk factors to guide patient selection and preoperative planning for breast reconstruction
