Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To describe and validate breast reconstruction technique using implants and synthetic film.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A prospective study included 50 patients diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022-2025. There were 74 simultaneous breast reconstructions using implants and synthetic film. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months. The complication rate and patient satisfaction with postoperative results were assessed using the BREAST-Q v. 2.0 questionnaire.

RESULTS

The overall complication rate was 36.5% (n=27 breasts). Of these, redo surgery was necessary in 5.4% (n=4 breasts) of cases. In 6 months after surgery, patients completed the BREAST-Q v. 2.0 Reconstruction Module questionnaire. The median score of satisfaction with breasts was 65±7.4 points.

CONCLUSION

Breast reconstruction using implant and synthetic film allows for restoration or reinforcement of inframammary fold, implant stabilization and minimization of complications, as well as higher patient satisfaction with postoperative results.
