Incisional scarring is a factor of cosmetic appearance evaluated after breast reconstruction, along with the shape, position, and size of the breast. This study aimed to examine the effect of the incision scar location on patient satisfaction after breast reconstruction. Using the Japanese version of the SCAR‐Q, we assessed the scar appearance, symptoms and psychosocial effects. Plastic surgeons performed assessments using the Manchester Scar Scale. The patients were divided into two groups: those with scars on the margins of the breast (MB group) and those with scars in the breast area (IB group). The results revealed that patients in the MB group reported significantly higher satisfaction with the scar appearance and psychological impact than those in the IB group. However, assessments using the Manchester Scar Scale did not reveal any significant differences between the two groups. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of patient‐reported outcomes in the evaluation of scar satisfaction after breast reconstruction. Patients tend to prefer and have higher satisfaction with scars along the breast margin, which offers valuable insights into surgical decisions. Further studies with larger and more diverse sample sizes are required for validation.

Background Duramesh is a new suturing concept, combining the principles of meshes with the precision, flexibility and versatility of a suture, suitable also for Abdominal Rectus Diastasis correction. Objectives This prospective research aimed at comparing this mesh usage versus the polypropylene standard suture plication for Rectus Diastasis repair in terms of safety (infection, seroma, hematoma, surgical wound dehiscence and fistula rates and hospital stay), effectiveness (ARD recurrence evidenced through Ultrasound Sonography, palpability of the muscular suture, surgical time and postoperative pain evaluation) and satisfaction of the patients based on PROMs (BODY-Q). Methods 65 of the initial 70 patients, undergoing rectus diastasis repair, with a 6 months FU, were randomly divided in two groups: 1 composed of 33 patients treated with Duramesh and 2 of 32 patients treated with standard polypropylene 0 suture plication. Data regarding infection, seroma, hematoma, surgical wound dehiscence and fistula rates, hospital stay, ARD recurrence, palpability of the muscular suture, surgical time, postoperative pain evaluation (VAS) and PROMs (BODY-Q) were analyzed by Prism9. Results No significant differences were reported between the two groups in terms of: infection, seroma, hematoma, surgical wound dehiscence and fistula rates and hospital stay. The mesh usage decreases the time required to perform plication compared with standard polypropylene detached stitches suture. No statistically significant differences were found out regarding VAS and BODY-Q data. Conclusions Duramesh 0 application for Rectus Diastasis repair is safe and effective without compromising aesthetic improvement, as compared to standard polypropylene 0 plication.
