Abstract: Management of Breast Implant Associated Infections in Breast Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Tissue expander(TE) and implant infection is the most common cause of surgical readmission following breast reconstruction. The goals of this study are (1) to characterize a cohort of patients who were treated with IV antibiotics for suspected infection after prosthetic breast reconstruction, (2) to identify local microbiome and (3) elucidate an optimal antibiotic treatment protocol (4) to identify risk factors for explantation.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION USING TRAM FLAP: PROSPECTIVE OUTCOME AND COMPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...
متن کاملAbstract P10: Reducing Infection Rates in Implant Based Breast Reconstruction: Impact of an Evidence-Based Protocol
BACKGROUND Infection is the most significant complication in implant-based breast reconstruction, potentially leading to reconstructive failure. We hypothesized that implementation of an evidence-based protocol marked by preoperative decolonization and sterility optimization would result in a decline in postoperative infection rates. METHODS Informed by a literature review, we developed an ev...
متن کاملBreast implant infections.
Infection after breast implant surgery occurs in 1.1% to 2.5% of procedures performed for augmentation and up to 35% of procedures performed for reconstruction after mastectomy. Most infections result from skin organisms and occur in the immediate postoperative period, although infections can occasionally present after many years. Diagnosis of breast implant infection relies on the clinical pre...
متن کاملReducing infection risk in implant-based breast-reconstruction surgery: challenges and solutions
Implant-based procedures are the most commonly performed method for postmastectomy breast reconstruction. While donor-site morbidity is low, these procedures are associated with a higher risk of reconstructive loss. Many of these are related to infection of the implant, which can lead to prolonged antibiotic treatment, undesired additional surgical procedures, and unsatisfactory results. This r...
متن کاملAnaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Associated with Breast Implant: A Case Report
Primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of B-Cell origin. The association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...
