Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the sling method using the Neover sheet at the time of tissue expanders insertion, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous and partial subcutaneous insertion of tissue expanders without increasing the risk of postoperative complications.

Medicine Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Patients with a subcutaneous tissue thickness of at least 1 cm, no problems with breast skin blood flow on intraoperative ICG examination, and no plans for postoperative radiation therapy will be included. In indicated cases, subcutaneous TE insertion will be performed with the TE covered with Neoveil sheets without subpectoral dissection.

Interventions/Control_2

Patients with a subcutaneous tissue thickness of 0.5 to 1 cm, with no problems with blood flow in the breast skin on intraoperative ICG examination, and with no plans for postoperative radiation therapy are eligible for this procedure. A subpectoral dissection is performed, and at the caudal margin, the pectoralis major muscle attachment is dissected; the TE is inserted under the dissected pectoralis major muscle, and the lateral and caudal portions are covered with a Neover Sheet. The anterior sheath and anterior serratus fascia are not dissected under the anterior sheath and anterior serratus fascia as in the conventional subthoracic insertion technique.

Interventions/Control_3

Patients with breast skin less than 0.5 mm or with problems with breast skin blood flow, complicated pectoralis major muscle excision at the time of mastectomy, or with large breast size that makes complete coverage by the pectoralis major muscle difficult.Attach and fix the Neover Sheet in a patch-like fashion to the area where the TE could not be covered by the pectoralis major muscle, and close the defect.

Interventions/Control_4

Patients with previous infection/irradiation and reoperation cases are targeted for TE insertion subcutaneously with the TE covered with a Neoverl sheet. If it is determined from the breast skin condition that better morphology can be obtained by inserting the TE in a rotated position, insert the TE in a rotated position. Autologous tissue reconstruction is performed within 3 months after TE insertion.
