摘要

This letter comments on the recent study by Salgarello et al. regarding the outcomes of polyurethane-coated implants in the setting of postmastectomy radiotherapy. We highlight the study’s contributions while addressing methodological limitations such as sample size, lack of control group, potential selection bias, and the absence of patient-reported outcomes. We also propose future research directions including comparative studies with ADM, adjunctive therapies, and cost-effectiveness analyses. The letter underscores the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in breast reconstruction.
