Comparison of vascular hemodynamics in experimental models of microvascular anastomoses.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction is a predictable, reliable, and cost-effective reconstruction. Most units performing direct-to-implant reconstructions recommend the use of an acellular dermal matrix or a mesh to reinforce the lower pole of the breast reconstruction. METHODS:Two hundred seventy-two c...
