    Background: Skin/nipple-sparing mastectomies (SSM/NSSM) have been reported to have acceptable complication rates and good aesthetic outcomes with high patient satisfaction. However, in this relatively young and rapidly expanding field of reconstructive plastic surgery, differences in perioperative management are noted between breast centers. Prospective studies of complication rates using a titanized polypropylene mesh (TiLOOP (R) Bra) are currently lacking. Methods: A prospective subgroup analysis was performed based on the data set of the prospective, single-arm, multicenter observational study (PRO-BRA). Early complication rates after skin/nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant-based immediate or secondary reconstruction using a titanized polypropylene mesh (TiLOOP (R) Bra) subpectorally were investigated in relation to demographic factors, as well as intra-and postoperative management. The subgroup consists of 258 patients. Complications were categorised into necrosis, infection, postoperative bleeding or hematoma, seroma, wound healing delays and R1-situations. Results: Early complication rates of SSM/NSSM using titanium-based meshes are comparable to complication-rates using ADM's. Logistic regression shows significantly higher risk for wound healing delays, necrosis and seroma with increasing BMI, abladat- and implant-weight (OR 1,17 -1,66, p-value < 0,001). Smokers have significantly higher necrosis rates (20.7%) compared to non-smokers (5.5%) (p-value = 0.002). Discharge with drainage results in a trend toward higher rates of wound healing complications. Conclusion: The use of TiLOOP (R) Bra meshes was shown to have acceptable complication rates. Complication rates depend on certain demographic and intraoperative risk factors and should be considered in indications and information of patients

    Das Studienprojekt "Curating the Digital in Everyday Life" des Instituts fĂŒr EuropĂ€ische Ethnologie der Humboldt-UniversitĂ€t zu Berlin beschĂ€ftigte sich in einer einjĂ€hrigen Forschung mit den Verflechtungen von Menschen, Medien und Alltag. Den Rahmen und Ausgangspunkt der einzelnen Fallstudien bildete die Annahme, dass neue digitale Praktiken unseren Alltag tiefgreifend verĂ€ndern und Alltagsakteur*innen im Umgang mit der digitalen FĂŒlle an Artefakten eigenstĂ€ndige Praktiken des Kuratierens entwickeln und umsetzen. Sie wĂ€hlen Objekte aus, ordnen und stellen zusammen, um die Welt auf eine bestimmte Art und Weise darzustellen, Geschichten zu erzĂ€hlen, Wert zu generieren oder Normen in Frage zu stellen. Auch Algorithmen und Infrastrukturen sind an diesen Prozessen aktiv beteiligt, denn die verschiedenen "AusstellungsrĂ€ume" im Internet entstehen erst im Umgang mit den spezifischen Affordanzen der Plattformen.The student research project "Curating the Digital in Everyday Life" by the Institute for European Ethnology at the Humboldt-University of Berlin dealt with the entanglements between people, media and everyday life. The framework and starting point of the individual case studies is based on the assumption that new digital practices profoundly change our everyday life and everyday actors develop and implement independent curating practices in dealing with the digital wealth of artifacts. They select objects, arrange and put them together to present the world in a certain way, to tell stories, to generate value or to question norms. Algorithms and infrastructures are also actively involved in these processes. These various online "exhibition spaces" only arise when dealing with the platform's specific affordances
