The use of SERI™ Surgical Scaffolds in direct-to-implant reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy: A retrospective study on surgical outcomes and a systematic review of current literature

The role of silk-derived scaffolds in breast reconstruction is yet to be determined. Though first reports have shown promising results, our and others results suggest that scaffold-related complications, such as lack of scaffold integration, may occur more frequently than previously described. Further research is necessary to determine possible (dis)advantages of the scaffold in specific patient groups.
