    Prepectoral breast reconstruction (PBR) reduces postoperative pain and improves aesthetic outcomes compared to traditional methods.

  • 2

    Mesh-free PBR demonstrates similar complication rates to mesh-assisted techniques, with no significant differences in infection or capsular contracture.

  • 3

    The operation time and hospitalization costs are significantly lower for the mesh-free group compared to the mesh group.

  • 4

    Patients receiving postoperative radiotherapy had a higher incidence of severe capsular contracture in the mesh group, although not statistically significant.

  • 5

    Mesh-free PBR is a safe and cost-effective option for selected breast cancer patients, enhancing physical well-being post-surgery.
