Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive type of T-cell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Although rare, all cases with adequate history have involved a textured breast implant. The objective of this study was to determine the U.S. incidence and lifetime prevalence of breast implant–associated ALCL in women with textured breast implants.
This study demonstrates a statistically significant association between textured breast implants and breast implant–associated ALCL. Although women with a textured breast implant have a low risk of developing breast implant–associated ALCL, the current U.S. incidence is significantly higher than that of primary ALCL of the breast in the general population.
Pain in the early post-operative period following subpectoral placement of tissue expanders and implants is commonly reported. The current standard of care for pain control involves the use of oral narcotics. This study, determinated the efficacy of Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections for pain relief following placement of subpectoral tissue expanders and breast implants.
El cáncer de mama es el cáncer más frecuente en las mujeres en todo el mundo y es la principal causa de muerte por cáncer entre las mujeres. La mastectomía profiláctica o curativa a menudo está seguida por la reconstrucción de la mama, por lo que existen varios enfoques quirúrgicos que utilizan implantes de mama con los que los cirujanos pueden restaurar la apariencia, el tamaño y la forma natural de la mama. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los efectos de diferentes tipos de implantes de mama sobre la contractura capsular, las complicaciones quirúrgicas a corto y a largo plazo, el nivel de satisfacción posoperatoria y la calidad de vida en las pacientes sometidas al proceder.
For more than 40 years, silver sulphadiazine 1% (SSD) is considered as standard therapy for the conservative treatment of burn wounds. However, in the last 10 years, substantial disadvantages of SSD have been reported in the literature and probably as a result of this, several new dressings for burn wounds have been developed and put on the market. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the available evidence on SSD in the conservative treatment of burns, specifically in comparison with the newer burn dressings that are increasingly being used nowadays.
The majority of studies assessing the rupture rate of breast implants were performed by the breast implant manufacturing industry with questionable independence. After repetitive removals of ruptured implants from the same model, our team decided to assess the rupture rate and the estimated risk thereof for most of the silicone gel–filled implants we have used since they regained market approval in France in 2001.
Resection of facial skin tumors aims to remove the tumors completely and make the surgical scar unnoticeable as much as possible. By improving the purse string suture method, we developed a new pentagram suture technique that enables simple and safe suturing of small to large defects with early satisfactory esthetic outcomes. The surgical outcomes of a case series were examined in this report.
