First experience from 200 cases with a new breast tissue expander for multi-stage pre-pectoral breast reconstruction after mastectomy
The new breast tissue expander features a biocompatible surface that does not adhere to adjacent tissues and therefore needs fixation alongside the inframammary fold, particularly if used in the pre-pectoral plane, contributing to a low complication rate. While short-term results are promising, long-term follow-up on a larger scale is needed to confirm these outcomes.
