Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in implant based mesh-supported breast reconstruction – early results of a multicenter prospective trial

Einleitung/Zielsetzung: Since 2010 synthetic meshs and acellular dermal matrices are recommended for implant-coverage and fixation of the pectoralis muscle in the German guidelines. In the majority patients underwent implant-based reconstructive surgery with a titanized polypropylene mesh (TiloopBra®).
