The average cost of a DTI reconstruction ($13,719.39 ± $5499) was significantly lower than for staged TE patients ($16,589.54 ± $6586.95; P < 0.001), with lower operative costs ($10,460.2 ± $4059.81 and $12,242.87 ± $4403.81; P = 0.002) and number of postoperative visits (13.27 ± 7.76 and 23.03 ± 9.05; P < 0.001). There were no differences in operative costs from complications and aesthetic revisions. The cost of a DTI reconstruction is most sensitive to the rate of bilateral operations. For staged TE reconstruction, the episodic cost is most sensitive to the incorporation of acellular dermal matrices.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>DTI breast reconstruction incurs lower cost over an EOC compared with staged TE reconstruction, because of greater planned operative costs and number of postoperative follow-ups in the TE group.</p>","PeriodicalId":20128,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and reconstructive surgery","volume":" ","pages":"803-810"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145337459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
