Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
A Study of the Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix for Breast Reconstruction
Summary
The researchers are doing this study to look at the number of complications that occur immediately after prepectoral breast reconstruction when Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) is used compared to when ADM is not used. These complications include infections, the need for Tissue Expander (TE) or implant removal, and other conditions that lead to additional surgery.
