Debated topics and new and evolving techniques in breast surgery are discussed in this chapter. Antibiotics and the use of closed-suction drains vary among surgeons, but the existing evidence favours discontinuation of antibiotics within 24 hours in most cases, and the indications for drains are limited but include breast reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix (ADM). ADM is a biological tissue substitute with many applications in breast surgery. The product selected and surgical technique used are often case specific; cost and patient anatomy play major roles. Although not suitable for all patients, ADM is an asset to prosthetic breast reconstruction. In addition, ADM is useful in the correction of breast surgery complications, including malpositioning and capsular contracture. It may be combined with fat grafting to mask rippling. Fat grafting, or lipomodelling, is an evolving science with promising results. Technique is critical for good results, and is described in this chapter. Radiographic changes after fat grafting are usually discernible from suspicious lesions, and growing evidence supports the oncological safety of this procedure

AbstractAcellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are tissue grafts that have been specially processed to remove all cellular components. These machined biological scaffolds have become popular in a variety of surgical settings due to their rapid incorporation into living tissue. As ADMs are highly malleable and cause minimal inflammation, they have come to serve as a useful tool in implant-based breast reconstruction procedures. The major benefits of using an ADM in this setting include superior initial breast contouring, decreased risk of capsular contracture after implant insertion, and consistent sustained positioning of the reconstructed breast. Despite these advantages, these tissue grafts are foreign to the host, and postoperative complications following ADM insertion, including infection and seroma, have been well documented. When considering using ADMs in this setting, it is important to first consider patient-specific factors that could preclude their use, such as low body mass index, small breasts, or a history of radiation exposure to the breast tissue. ADM grafts are also expensive, which may present another barrier to their use. Review of the literature ultimately suggests a continued role for ADMs in implant-based breast reconstruction, and continued research in this field is warranted.

There has been an increase in invasive breast carcinoma which many times end up with a mastectomy. The psychological effects of mastectomy can be overwhelming, urging the need for optimum breast reconstruction procedures. Acellular dermal matrices are widely used nowadays due to their favorable outcomes with a few complications. In this study, we review the literature to explore the different types used, cons, and pros of this procedure. Databases like PubMed, Medline, Web of science, Embase, Google scholar, and Scopus were used and searched for following terms “implant-based reconstruction” or “breast reconstruction” or “acellular dermal matrix”. All studies that discuss the use of acellular dermal matrices for breast reconstructive surgery were included. Acellular dermal matrices may allow a relatively easy, affordable and time-efficient breast reconstructive surgery. They are associated with less incidence of infection and capsular contracture making them an excellent fit for most procedures. However, m ore studies are needed to help understand possible risk factors, and complications and how to avoid them.
