A nationwide curriculum analysis of integrated plastic surgery training: is training standardized?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Breast reconstruction is most frequently performed using implants or expanders. Adjunctive materials such as acellular dermal matrix and synthetic meshes are used to support the implant or expander. A paucity of large studies exist on the use of synthetic mesh for breast reconstruction. METHODS:A retrospect...
