Implication

This retrospective cohort study evaluates red breast syndrome incidence and complications in prepectoral reconstruction using Braxon® in patients, suggesting safety and identifying risk factors.

Key Points

This study aims to examine the incidence of red breast syndrome and early postoperative complications in patients undergoing prepectoral breast reconstruction using Braxon®.
Retrospective cohort analysis of consecutive patients who underwent prepectoral reconstruction with Braxon®.
Data collected included demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes.
Complications were classified as minor or major, based on their management requirements.
Univariate analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with complications.
No cases of red breast syndrome were observed (0/95, 0%).
Early minor complications included seroma (7.3%), skin necrosis (4.2%), and infection (1%).
Major complications requiring reoperation occurred in 15.8% of cases, with an overall implant loss rate of 13.7%.
Preoperative radiotherapy significantly increased early complications and implant loss risk.
Smoking, necrosis, infection, and dehiscence were identified as significant predictors of implant loss.
