Outcomes of Immediate Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction in Patients Receiving Post-Mastectomy Radiotherapy.
Stacy FanHanny ChenAaron GrantTanya DeLyzerPublished in: Plastic surgery (Oakville, Ont.) (2020)
Overall 6.4% of patients who underwent immediate alloplastic breast reconstruction required PMRT over a 10-year period. Complication rates for infection, capsular contracture, revision surgery, wound dehiscence and device exposure, and reconstructive failure were similar between both groups. Total complication rates were similar between groups. This information will help to inform decision-making regarding immediate alloplastic reconstruction and expected complications when PMRT is needed.
