Analysis of clinically significant seroma formation in breast reconstruction using acellular dermal grafts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Application of collagen products to wounds has been shown to improve wound healing. Using a collagen-based hydrogel (cHG) capable of cellular support previously developed by our laboratory, we hypothesize that our hydrogel will increase the speed of wound healing by providing a 3-dimensional framework for ce...
