AlloDerm Use in TRAM Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is an important step in the recovery process for every mastectomy patient. Restoring a patient back to a normal and natural life and appearance is crucial to a full and healthy recovery. For many breast cancer survivors and other mastectomy patients the idea of any further surgery or medical expense may be overwhelming and defeating. It is important that the techniques and medical products that are used during reconstruction are not detrimental to their well being.
If you or someone you love has suffered after a breast reconstruction surgery involving the use of AlloDerm, you deserve justice for any pain or suffering resulting from this defective product. A person’s perception of themselves is an important part of the healing process. If AlloDerm failure has interfered with this, please contact the AlloDerm failure lawyers at Williams Kherkher by calling 800-761-3187.
AlloDerm Failures
TRAM reconstruction methods require a great sacrifice for many patients. Parts of their own body are shifted as part of their reconstruction. In light of these sacrifices and often frightening process, it is unfortunate that a medical product failure could cause further discomfort. In a study presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, surgeons concluded that the use of AlloDerm increased a patient’s likelihood of explantation for reasons other than dissatisfaction. Reports have indicated that the use of AlloDerm failure is often linked to the following effects:
- Abscess
- Nauseating smell
- Discoloration
- Infection
