Higher rates of satisfaction and psychosocial well-being and low complication rates were reported by patients who had a new mesh-supported prepectoral method of breast reconstruction using titanized mesh pockets after their surgery for breast cancer. At the 14th European Breast Cancer Conference in Milan, Stefan Paepke, MD, from the Interdisciplinary Breast Centre at the Technical University of Munich in Germany, said the technique prevents the unnatural breast mobility patients can experience after reconstruction, sometimes called jumping breasts. After reporting his group’s 24-month follow-up data from the prospective international mesh-supported, pre-pectoral breast reconstruction trial (PRO-Pocket Trial) at the conference, he discussed the findings with Peter Goodwin.
