Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
The axillary technique is the most popular approach to breast augmentation among Korean women. Transaxillary breast augmentation is now conducted with sharp electrocautery dissection under direct endoscopic vision throughout the entire process. The aims of this method are clear: both a bloodless pocket and a sharp non-traumatic dissection. Round textured or anatomical cohesive gel implants have been used to make predictable well-defined inframammary creases because textured surface implants demonstrated a better stability attributable to tissue adherence compared with smooth surface implants. The axillary endoscopic technique has greatly evolved, and now the surgical results are comparable to those with the inframammary approach. The author feels that this technique is an excellent choice for young patients with an indistinct or absent inframammary fold, who do not want a scar in the aesthetic unit of their chest.

Commentary on: transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation with shaped gel implants.
BACKGROUND At its inception, transaxillary breast augmentation was a blind technique associated with complications and unpredictable outcomes. The transaxillary approach now involves electrocautery dissection with direct endoscopic visualization and yields excellent aesthetic outcomes with a concealed scar. Shaped implant devices can be combined with transaxillary augmentation for natural-appea...
متن کاملEndoscopic transaxillary prepectoral conversion for submuscular breast implants
BACKGROUND During breast augmentation, the transaxillary approach provides the advantage of allowing the mammary prosthesis to be placed through incisions that are remote from the breast itself, thereby reducing the visibility of postoperative scars. For patients experiencing capsular contracture who do not want additional scars, the previous transaxillary scar can be used for site change and i...
متن کاملEffect of incision choice on outcomes in primary breast augmentation.
BACKGROUND Capsular contracture (CC) is the most common complication following primary breast augmentation and one of the most common causes of reoperation. Various studies have suggested certain risk factors, including incision choice. OBJECTIVES The authors investigate a possible association between the three most common breast augmentation incisions (inframammary, periareolar, and transaxi...
متن کاملBreast Augmentation : The Axillary Approach
There is no such thing as the perfect breast-augmentation technique, so opinions differ (and debates are heated) among plastic surgeons about the best way to perform this procedure. We believe that transaxillary submuscular breast augmentation, performed using saline implants and a blind dissection technique without endoscopy, is a simple procedure associated with a high level of satisfaction a...
متن کاملGasless Transaxillary Thyroidectomy: A Technique of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy
Various endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) techniques ranging from video-assisted, total endoscopic, transaxillary endoscopic, robotic and chest wall approaches have been reported for thyroid surgery. They can be broadly divided in to gas-dependent and gasless approaches. Here, we describe our technique of gasless transaxillary thyroidectomy with synergistic benefits of open and endoscopic thyroidec...
