  • Title: Use of fenestrations in acellular dermal allograft in two-stage tissue expander/implant breast reconstruction.
    Author: Martin JB, Moore R, Paydar KZ, Wirth GA.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 2014 Nov; 134(5):901-904. PubMed ID: 25347626.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The authors present a new technique of alteration of the acellular dermal matrix through strategically placed fenestrations, improving the reconstructive experience and overall cosmetic outcome. The authors present a retrospective chart review following two surgeons' experience at the University of California, Irvine, Department of Plastic Surgery using surgeon-designed fenestrated acellular dermal matrices in two-stage tissue expander breast reconstruction. The authors found that this leads to improved intraoperative fill volume, decreased number of postoperative expansions, increased expansion rate with subjectively less pain, decreased time to full expansion, and subjectively improved cosmetic outcome. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
