 The use of implants for breast reconstruction began over four decades ago, with implants initially placed in the prepectoral space.

Concerns arose regarding the high incidence of capsular contracture and complication rates. With the introduction of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), plastic surgeons are again considering the advantages of prepectoral implant placement.

A systematic review was conducted to examine complication profiles in prepectoral breast reconstruction alone versus prepectoral with ADM or mesh.

A systematic review of the PubMed database was performed from inception to March 2017 to identify literature on postmastectomy patients undergoing prepectoral breast reconstruction with and without ADM or mesh.

Study characteristics, complication rates, and outcomes were extracted for analysis. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale, and complication profiles were analyzed using the random-effects model.
