摘要:
The utility of the endoscope was realized in a retrospective analysis of 92 consecutive patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty with saline-filled textured implants. The transaxillary submuscular approach was used. All patients received pre-operative antibiotics and instillation of methylprednisolone into the saline fill, with inflation to manufacturer-recommended levels. Complications included seven implant deflations (3.8%), eight implant malpositions (4.3%), and one capsular contracture (0.6%). Of the eight malpositions, six were corrected using the endoscopic technique without removal of the implant and with early manipulation of the implant within the pocket. We conclude that endoscopic control in augmentation mammaplasty is beneficial in secondary operative procedures and we speculate that the endoscope will lessen the rate of implant malposition observed in this study.Howard PS, Oslin BD, Moore JR.
