Implant Based Breast Reconstruction Using a Titanium-Coated Polypropylene Mesh (TiLOOP® BRA): A systematic review and Meta analysis

Background: 

Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) can be performed using a variety of biological and synthetic meshes. However, there has yet to be a consensus on the optimal mesh. This study investigates the safety and patient satisfaction of using TiLOOP® Bra in IBBR and compares its postoperative complication risk with that of porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and SERAGYN BR.

Study results

The literature review was performed via PRISMA criteria, 23 studies met the inclusion criteria for the TiLOOP® Bra review, and 5 studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Patient characteristics and per-breast complications were collected. Data were analyzed using Cochrane RevMan and IBM SPSS.

Conclusion: 

The meta-analysis revealed that TiLOOP Bra has better safety than ADM, and the TiLOOP® Bra group had a significantly lower incidence of seroma formation compared to the SERAGYN BR group.
