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.
Numerous surgical techniques exist for gynaecomastia treatment. Although ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) is thought to be more effective than conventional liposuction, to date there remains no objective and direct comparison of the two modalities. Hence, a comparative study was performed of a single surgeon’s experience over 13 years using two definitive parameters, namely intraoperative conversion to open excision and postoperative revisional surgery rates.
This patient safety article discusses strategies to prevent, diagnose, and manage complications from body contouring surgery. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative approaches to avoiding, identifying, and treating complications are addressed. Individual complications, such as hematoma, seroma, infection, dehiscence, suture extrusion, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism are discussed and a review of complication rates in the body contouring literature is provided. The article addresses procedure-specific complications and pearls to avoiding complications in these cases. Difficult problems such as skin relaxation and management of the disappointed patient are also discussed.
Después de la cirugía, las incisiones se suelen cerrar aproximando los bordes con suturas (puntos), grapas, adhesivos (pegamento) o broches. Este proceso ayuda a que los bordes incididos cicatricen juntos y se le llama «cicatrización por primera intención». Esta revisión pertenece a una serie de revisiones Cochrane que investigan las pruebas sobre antisépticos y antibióticos en diferentes tipos de heridas. También se propone presentar pruebas actuales relacionadas con la administración de antisépticos y antibióticos para las heridas quirúrgicas con cicatrización por segunda intención (SWHSI, por sus siglas en inglés).
