Study Summary

This trial is comparing the rate of complications after prepectoral breast reconstruction using Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) versus not using ADM.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 21-60 who are planning nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomies, either as a preventive measure or to treat breast cancer. They must be able to undergo immediate two-stage prosthetic breast reconstruction with tissue expander placement first. Women can't join if they've had chest radiation, currently smoke, don't speak English, or plan direct-to-implant reconstruction.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the outcomes of prepectoral breast reconstruction using Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) versus without ADM. It focuses on immediate postoperative complications like infections and issues that might require additional surgery or removal of implants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include infection risks at the surgical site, possible reactions to the Acellular Dermal Matrix material used in some patients, and complications leading to further surgeries.
