Medical Student Research Symposium

Purpose: Increasing use of prepectoral plane in post mastectomy implant-based reconstruction has made immediate direct to implant (DTI) reconstruction more achievable. There has been increased incidence of post mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) making it important to understand the complication profile of immediate DTI reconstruction in patients who may require adjuvant radiation therapy.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing prepectoral DTI reconstruction with and without PMRT was performed. Patient and treatment level factors, operative, and post-operative outcomes were extracted on both the patient and breast level for the prepectoral radiated and nonradiated patients. The presence of at least …
