Summary
This study looked at 1,000 women who had breast reconstruction with implants right after mastectomy, followed by radiation therapy. Researchers compared two types of implants—polyurethane-covered and non-polyurethane-covered—to see which had fewer complications like capsular contracture (hardening) or implant loss. The goal is to help surgeons and patients make better choices for reconstruction when radiation is needed.
