TIGR Matrix for implant-based breast reconstruction - a long-term resorbable mesh.

This study is significant as there remains little data regarding the long term outcomes of resorbable synthetic mesh for breast reconstruction. Their reported complication rates are consistent with those in other studies for synthetic meshes. As synthetic meshes can be significantly cheaper than their biological counterparts, this work could promote more widespread use. PMID: 30139282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
