Abstract: Device Explantation after Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction: Patient Characteristics and Timeline
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Nearly 75% of breast reconstruction procedures performed by ASPS members in 2015 involved tissue expanders. Despite the advantages of expander-based reconstruction, complications are common and can require early removal of the tissue expander. Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissue expander failures in breast reconstruction patients.

متن کاملInfectious Complications Leading to Explantation in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction With AlloDerm
OBJECTIVE The role for acellular dermal matrix in implant-based breast reconstruction-providing coverage of the inferolateral border of the underlying prosthesis and allowing control over the inframammary fold-has become increasingly popular. Although AlloDerm (LifeCell, Branchburg, NJ) is free of cellular components responsible for the antigenic response, its processing does not guarantee ster...
متن کاملIs explantation of silicone breast implants useful in patients with complaints?
In this review, we present a critical review of the existing literature reflecting the results of explantation of silicone breast implants in patients with silicone-related complaints and/or autoimmune diseases. A literature search was performed to discuss the following issues: which clinical manifestations and autoimmune diseases improve after explantation, and what is the course of these comp...
