Postoperative Complications in Breast Reconstruction With Porcine Acellular Dermis and Polypropylene Meshes in Subpectoral Implant Placement
This research compares postoperative complication rates with Strattice™, SERAGYN® BR, and TiLOOP® Bra interposition devices for subpectoral implant placement after skin or nipple sparing mastectomy.
With acellular dermal matrix (ADM) Strattice™, 27.5% major and 27.5% minor complications occurred. Implant loss rates were 27.3% in primary and 30.8% in secondary reconstructions. With SERAGYN® BR, 11.1% major and 13,0% minor complications occurred. Implant losses (6.1%) occurred exclusively in primary reconstructions. With TiLOOP® Bra, 14.9% major and 9.6% minor complications occurred. Implant loss rates were 7.7% in primary and 7.1% in secondary reconstructions.
ADM was associated with high complication rates in primary and secondary reconstructions. Low complication rates were seen with mesh interposition devices in primary, secondary, and prophylactic reconstructions.

pfm medical offers the full range for breast reconstruction, including titanised meshes TiLOOP Bra, TiLOOP Bra Pocket, and tissue matrices, Fortiva and Tutomesh. The TiLOOP® mesh implant is suitable for reconstructive breast surgery following a mastectomy. It is available in 3 variations – TiLOOP® Bra for sub pec reconstruction, TiLOOP® Pocket for pre pec reconstruction, and TiLOOP® MPX for mastopexy. Like all the titanised products from pfm medical, these help shorten the convalescence period following an operation. The RTI biological mesh completes the full portfolio. Offering the clinician the choice of which material best meets their and their patient’s needs. Fortiva 1mm is a porcine dermis stored in pharma grade saline – truly packet to patient. Tutomesh is a bovine pericardium which is freeze dried before rehydrating in minutes.
