Wise Versus Vertical Mastopexy Pattern Skin-reducing Mastectomy With Immediate Breast Reconstruction: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
The Wise pattern shows significantly higher mastectomy flap necrosis than the vertical pattern. However, there were no significant differences in major necrosis, minor necrosis, infection, hematoma, or seroma. Future studies should focus on larger, high-quality randomized controlled trials to better understand the impact of incision techniques on postoperative outcomes.
