Veritas in Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction Is Associated with Higher Complications Compared with TiLOOP® BRA

Background: Biologic and synthetic meshes are used in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction for coverage of the lower pole of the implant. This study aimed to compare outcomes of Veritas with TiLOOP® Bra 

Study results

Comparison of the Veritas group with the TiLOOP® Bra Group:
– Overall higher complication rate in the Veritas group: 54% vs. 14% of breasts

– Higher seroma rate/ non-integration in the Veritas group: 51.4% vs. 1.6% of breasts

– More implant rotations in the Veritas group: 16.2% vs. 1.1% of breasts

– Higher infection rate in the Veritas group: 18.9% vs. 2.1% of breasts

– More wound dehiscence in the Veritas group: 10.8% vs. 0.5% of breasts
