title: [Acellular cadaveric dermis-assisted immediate breast reconstruction: the preliminary experience].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the feasibility and therapeutic effect of acellular cadaveric dermis (ACD)-assisted immediate breast reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  From Sep. 2009 to May 2010, 10 cases received ACD-assisted immediate breast reconstruction. During the operation, the ACD was used to cover inferior and lateral portion of the implants in 2 cases and expanders in 8 cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patients were followed up for an average period of 4 months with satisfactory breast appearance. The complications included infection in 2 cases and dehiscence in 2 cases. But no implant or expander was taken out.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ACD-assisted immediate breast reconstruction is a technically simple procedure with minimal morbidity. Satisfactory clinical outcome can be achieved with appropriate candidates.
