Short communication: Delayed erythematous SKIN reaction with SERI(R)-ASSISTED Direct to implant breast reconstruction

Direct to implant reconstruction (DTI) using meshes following mastectomy is a safe and viable option for patients who require an alternative to autologous techniques (1). The surgical support scaffold, SERI (R) (Allergan Inc., USA) was designed to bridge the gap between synthetic and biological meshes in this field (2). It is made of the bioprotein, BIOSILK (C), purified from silk fibres and knitted into a 3D-scaffold. We present our short-term results for SERI(R)-assisted DTI reconstruction from a retrospective multi-centre case series.
