Abstract
BACKGROUND: Post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is known to increase the complication rate and implant loss in implant-based breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature regarding the outcome of PMRT delivered to the permanent/definitive implant. METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies involving immediate implant-based reconstruction and PMRT when delivered to the permanent implant. RESULTS: Seven studies included 2921 patients (520 PMRT, 2401 control). PMRT was associated with significant increase in capsular contracture (7 studies, 2529 patients, 494 PMRT, 2035 control, OR 10.21, 95% CI 3.74 to 27.89, p < 0.00001). In addition, PMRT was associated with a significant increase in revisional surgery (7 studies, 2921 patients, 520 PMRT, 2401 control, OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.33 to 3.57, p = 0.002) and reconstructive failure (6 studies, 2814 patients, 496 PMRT, 2318 control, OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.48 to 4.29, p+0.0007). Moreover, it was associated with a significant reduction in patient satisfaction (4 studies, 468 patients, 138 PMRT, 294 control, OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.57, p = 0.0003) and cosmetic outcome (4 studies, 1317 patients, 238 PMRT, 1009 control, OR 28, 95% CI. 0.11 to 0.67, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis demonstrates that within the first 5 years, post implant-based reconstruction for those patients who receive PMRT, the rates of adverse events are increased, and there is a significant reduction in patient satisfaction and cosmetic outcome.
