Advances in Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction

Jiaheng Xie et al. Ther Clin Risk Manag. .

Abstract

Breast reconstruction can be divided into prepectoral breast reconstruction (PPBR) and subpectoral breast reconstruction (SPBR) according to the implant plane. The original prepectoral breast reconstruction was abandoned for a long time due to the frequent and severe complications. Now, advances in materials technology and improved methods of mastectomy have made safe prepectoral breast reconstruction possible. Moreover, a number of studies have gradually demonstrated the advantages of prepectoral breast reconstruction. As prepectoral breast reconstruction becomes more and more attractive, it is time to review the current advances in prepectoral breast reconstruction.

Keywords: breast cancer; breast reconstruction; complications; patient report outcome; prepectoral; subpectoral.
