True Incidence of All Complications following Immediate and Delayed Breast Reconstruction

Abstract: Autologous reconstruction can be performed immediately or delayed, with optimal aesthetic outcome and low flap loss risk. However, the overall complication and capsular contracture incidence following immediate tissue expander/implant reconstruction was much higher than when performed delayed. Thus, tissue expander placement at the time of mastectomy may not necessarily save the patient an extra operation and may compromise the final aesthetic outcome.

“…Aggregate DIEP flap data may not accurately represent degrees of abdominal preservation. [26][27][28][29][30][31] The described classification system from this study attempts to separate the different categories of abdominal flap harvest with an emphasis on muscle and nerve preservation based on recent anatomic studies. 21 After all, not all DIEP flaps are the same.…”

“…Several studies examining the long-term results for implant-based reconstructions versus autologous reconstructions have found that aesthetic results are better with autologous tissue, with less overall cost to insurance payers if revision procedures are taken into account. 17,18 However, surgical practices are not directly rewarded for their up-front investments in these cases.…”

“…Hauptprobleme der Implantate sind lokale Komplikationen, v. a. Kapselfibrosen, Implantatdislokationen, Rupturen, Infektionen und Schmerzen. Die Kapselfibrose ist die häufigste Langzeitkomplikation [12,13]. Silikongelimplantate haben sich in verschiedenen Studien als gesundheitlich unbedenklich erwiesen [14].…”
