Friday 13 November at 14:00, Mette Eline Brunbjerg defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Biological and synthetic mesh in breast reconstructive surgery".
The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM, biological mesh) in breast reconstructive procedures brings potential benefits to patients. Study I and II investigates whether ADM assisted one-stage implant-based breast reconstruction minimizes the risk of complications, costs, and surgical procedures and furthermore, improves the outcome evaluated by patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and evaluation of the aesthetic result compared to the traditional two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction. Study III investigates whether the use of ADM for reinforcement of the abdominal donor-site after breast reconstruction with the pedicled TRAM flap result in less bulging or herniation and decreased abdominal pain and discomfort compared to reinforcement with synthetic mesh.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium C114-101, Entrance C, C110, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, 8200 Aarhus N and online via Zoom. Please read the attached press release for more information.
