In a meta-analysis of 16 studies, ADM was found to be associated with a higher likelihood of seroma (pooled OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.4-6.2), infection (pooled OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1-6.4), and reconstructive failure (pooled OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.3-6.8).
The rates of hematoma (pooled OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 0.8-5.2), cellulitis (pooled OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 0.9-4.3), and skin flap necrosis (pooled OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 0.6-5.4) were not significantly different from reconstruction without ADM.
Furthermore, in a randomized controlled trial, use of ADM had no effect on postoperative pain and narcotic use, nor on the rate at which tissue expanders could be expanded.
