Economic Analysis and Review of the Literature on Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction With and Without the Use of the Acellular Dermal Matrix

Since its first reported use for the treatment of burns victims, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) use has expanded to surgeries including repairing thoracic and abdominal wall defects, and breast reconstruction. FlexHD® is a brand of ADM prepared from human cadaveric dermis that has been processed to remove antigenic components and is used to reinforce the subpectoral pocket created during submuscular breast implant surgery. Recent documentation of a phenomenon termed ‘red breast syndrome’ (RBS) has emerged in the medical literature, with little known about its aetiology and treatment. This paper presents a case of blistering cutaneous erythema from FlexHD® ADM.

Breast reconstruction during breast-conserving surgery (BCS) can improve the breast shape. This study introduces breast reconstruction in BCS with two types of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). The study included 134 patients who underwent BCS due to breast cancer from February 2018 to May 2021. This study was conducted by one surgeon, and is the result of a three-year study. The patient group who underwent BCS using ADM was mainly targeted at patients with minor to severe defects after the operation. The average age of the patients was 51.8 years, and the body mass index (BMI) was 23.8 kg/m. The specimen weight was 30–120 g. The average surgical time, including reconstruction, was 100.4 min, combined with reconstruction. There were minor complications in six patients. The advantage of using ADM is that it can quickly correct the shape of the breast after conventional BCS surgery. Pellet-type ADM, rather than sheet-type, can create a breast shape similar to that before surgery. Breast reconstruction using ADM can be an easy and convenient method for making a better shape from BCS.
