Pre-pectoral implant reconstruction using synthetic mesh: An Irish perspective

Abstract

Background: In recent years there has been a resurgence in the use of the pre-pectoral implant breast reconstruction (IBR) with favourable reported outcomes. Most studies have reported the use of biological mesh. TIGR® mesh is a synthetic cheaper alternative. The aim is to establish the outcome of an Irish cohort of patients who underwent pre-pectoral immediate implant reconstruction using TIGR® mesh.
