Prepectoral breast reconstruction has reemerged as a popular option for prosthetic-based breast reconstruction.

Recent published literature highlights good outcomes; however, techniques are evolving and options exist for different technologies.

The aim of this study is to evaluate short-term complication rates of prepectoral reconstructions using Cortiva acellular dermal matrix.

A multicenter retrospective study was conducted of all patients who underwent mastectomy with immediate direct-to-implant or 2-stage prepectoral breast reconstruction with Cortiva (RTI Surgical, Alachua, Fla.) between January 2016 and September 2018.

The incidence of surgical complications was determined and studied against patient demographics and procedural details.
