ABSTRACT

Introdução: Diversos estudos têm analisado a possível relação entre a prótese mamária de silicone e sintomas sistêmicos. A remoção das próteses de mama com capsulectomia tem sido indicada na tentativa de melhorar esses sintomas. É necessário que o cirurgião tenha dados embasados na literatura para informar ao paciente se há relação entre retirada de prótese de mama com capsulectomia e melhora dos sintomas, qual a taxa de melhora e por quanto tempo se mantém. Método: Foi realizada pesquisa nos bancos de dados virtuais Cochrane Library e PubMed de janeiro de 1990 até abril de 2023. A busca foi realizada pela combinação de termos livres ("breast implant illness", "breast capsulectomy" e "breast implant explantation") e pelo uso de operadores booleanos para descritores Mesh como [autoimmune diseases (MeSH Terms)] e [breast implant (MeSH Terms)]. Resultados: Foram obtidos 1.203 artigos, sendo 14 selecionados para o estudo, consistindo em 7 artigos de coorte retrospectivo, 3 de coorte prospectivo e 4 caso-controle. A taxa de melhora variou entre 50 e 100% dos casos e o tempo de acompanhamento variou entre 2 meses e 2,7 anos. Diversos tipos de capsulectomia foram realizados nos estudos, com taxas semelhantes de melhora. Conclusão: Há evidências de melhora dos sintomas sistêmicos em pacientes com prótese mamária de silicone submetidas a retirada de prótese de mama com capsulectomia. A melhora dos sintomas persistiu durante o período em que as pacientes foram acompanhadas nos estudos. Estudos mais recentes demonstraram que o tipo de capsulectomia não tem influência na melhora dos sintomas sistêmicos.


Introduction: Several studies have analyzed the possible relationship between silicone breast implants and systemic symptoms. Removal of breast implants with capsulectomy has been indicated in an attempt to improve these symptoms. The surgeon must have data based on the literature to inform the patient whether there is a relationship between the removal of a breast prosthesis with capsulectomy and improvement in symptoms, what is the rate of improvement, and how long it lasts. Method: A search was carried out in the Cochrane Library and PubMed virtual databases from January 1990 to April 2023. The search was carried out using a combination of free terms ("breast implant illness", "breast capsulectomy," and "breast implant explantation") and by using Boolean operators for Mesh descriptors such as [autoimmune diseases (MeSH Terms)] and [breast implant (MeSH Terms)]. Results: 1,203 articles were obtained, 14 of which were selected for the study, consisting of 7 retrospective cohort articles, 3 prospective cohort articles, and 4 case-control articles. The improvement rate varied between 50 and 100% of cases, and the follow-up time varied between 2 months and 2.7 years. Several types of capsulectomies were performed in the studies, with similar rates of improvement. Conclusion: There is evidence of improvement in systemic symptoms in patients with silicone breast implants who underwent breast implant removal with capsulectomy. The improvement in symptoms persisted during the period in which the patients were followed in the studies. More recent studies have demonstrated that the type of capsulectomy does not influence the improvement of systemic symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The mastopexy with implants and L-shaped scarring aims to correct grades I to II breast ptosis using implants in retroglandular space and retromuscular dual plane space, at the same surgical time. The objective is to describe the experience with the L-augmentation mastopexy technique, analyzing complications and reoperations. Methods: Retrospective study of 123 patients with mild to moderate breast ptosis, operated using the L-augmentation mastopexy technique from January 2011 to November 2021. Results: The mean age of patients was 35.6 years. The average volume of implants used was 315ml (range 175 to 600ml). The placement of the prosthesis was in retroglandular (46.5%) and dual plane retromuscular space (53.5%). The average operative time was two hours and fifty-four minutes. The main complications presented were superficial dehiscence (7.3%), recurrence of ptosis (7.3%) and unsightly scars (5.7%). Surgical reviews took place in 13 patients (10.5%). Conclusion: Safe and effective mastopexy technique with implant in the treatment of mild to moderate breast ptosis, providing well designed breasts with reduced L-shaped scars.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Augmentation mammoplasty is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in plastic surgery. Among its rarer occurrences are galactorrhea, spontaneous milk output by the papilla, and galactocele, a collection of milky material in the surgical bed. There is little literature on this extremely rare occurrence, and through this article, we conduct a literature review and report on a case operated in our service. Case Report: We present a case of a 35-year-old patient who underwent breast augmentation surgery via the inframammary fold, with an implant placed in the subglandular plane, which evolved, on the thirtieth postoperative day, with galactorrhea exteriorized through the incision, and we propose a treatment for such intercurrence. Six months after the operation, the breasts were symmetrical, without signs of contracture or additional alterations; the patient was satisfied with the result and without new episodes of galactorrhea or galactocele. Conclusion: Although rare, with an incidence of less than 1%, galactorrhea can occur as a postoperative complication, and knowledge about it, as well as the forms of treatment, will benefit both patient and surgeon.


Introdução: A mamoplastia de aumento é uma das cirurgias mais frequentemente realizadas na cirurgia plástica. Entre suas intercorrências mais raras, está a galactorreia, saída de leite pela papila de forma espontânea, e o galactocele, uma coleção de material leitoso no leito cirúrgico. Pouca literatura existe sobre esta raríssima intercorrência e por meio deste artigo realizamos uma revisão da literatura e relato de um caso operado no nosso serviço. Relato de Caso: Apresentamos um caso de uma paciente de 35 anos que foi submetida a cirurgia de mamoplastia de aumento via sulco inframamário, com implante alocado no plano subglandular, que evoluiu, no trigésimo dia pós-operatório, com galactorreia exteriorizada pela incisão, e propomos um tratamento para tal intercorrência. Com seis meses de pós-operatório, as mamas se encontravam simétricas, sem sinais de contratura ou alterações adicionais, paciente satisfeita com o resultado e sem novos episódios de galactorreia ou galactocele. Conclusão: Embora rara, com uma incidência de menos de 1%, a galactorreia pode ocorrer como intercorrência pós-operatória e o conhecimento desta, bem como as formas de tratamento, irá beneficiar tanto paciente como cirurgião.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O câncer que mais acomete mulheres em todo o mundo é o de mama. Não bastasse o mal que a doença ativa é capaz de causar, após a cura as sequelas continuam atormentando a vida de milhares de mulheres. O trauma psicológico de uma mutilação pode ter repercussões psicológicas de difícil controle. A mastectomia salva a vida da mulher com câncer mamário; entretanto, a perda da mama pode manter o biopsicossocial da paciente doente. Reconstruir as mamas se torna, então, tempo crucial no tratamento destas mulheres. Métodos: O estudo dos acervos públicos e pessoais dos autores permitiram discorrer sobre a evolução artística e técnica das reconstruções mamárias através dos anos. Resultados: Estudos e reflexões de cirurgiões plásticos em todo o mundo possibilitaram a padronização de uma série de técnica e ferramentas para reconstrução da mama, que vão compor o arsenal do cirurgião moderno. Existem várias, incluindo técnicas com retalhos locais, como o plug flap e as técnicas de mamoplastia, retalhos de vizinhança, como retalho toracodorsal, materiais aloplásticos (expansores teciduais e próteses), numerosos retalhos autólogos, incluindo retalhos microcirúrgicos ou, ainda, técnicas combinadas frente aos variados tipos de casos. Paralelamente, a indústria de produtos médico-hospitalares desenvolveu material aloplástico (próteses e expansores) mais adequados e de melhor qualidade, que propiciam reconstruções mais seguras e mais previsíveis no que concerne ao uso dos implantes. Conclusão: O estado da arte atual da reconstrução mamária encontra pilares históricos bem fundamentados e auxílio tecnológico avançado, provendo condições para tratamentos refinados, de alta exigência e preparo do artista.


Introduction: The cancer that most affects women around the world is breast cancer. If the harm that the active disease is capable of causing was not enough, after the cure, the consequences continue to torment the lives of thousands of women. Furthermore, the psychological trauma of mutilation can have psychological repercussions that are difficult to control. Mastectomy saves the life of a woman with breast cancer; however, breast loss can keep the patient sick in the biopsychosocial aspect. Rebuilding the breasts then becomes crucial in the treatment of these women. Methods: The study of the authors' public and personal collections allowed us to discuss the artistic and technical evolution of breast reconstructions over the years. Results: Studies and reflections from plastic surgeons worldwide have enabled the standardization of a series of techniques and tools for breast reconstruction that will make up the arsenal of the modern surgeon. It includes techniques with local flaps, such as the plug flap and mammoplasty techniques, neighborhood flaps, such as the thoracodorsal flap, alloplastic materials (tissue expanders and prostheses), the numerous autologous flaps, including microsurgical flaps or, also, the combined techniques for the various types of cases. At the same time, the medical-hospital products industry has developed alloplastic materials (prostheses and expanders) that are more suitable and of better quality, which provide safer and more predictable reconstructions concerning the use of implants. Conclusion: The current state of the art in breast reconstruction finds well-founded historical pillars and advanced technological aid, providing conditions for advanced treatments.

ABSTRACT

Apesar dos mais de 60 anos de história, dezenas de estudos e grandes amostras populacionais, nos últimos anos diversos pacientes têm retornado ao consultório do cirurgião plástico. Apresentam dúvidas a respeito do silicone, algumas devido aos relatos recentes de BIA-ALCL (Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma), mas a grande maioria pela possibilidade de sintomas sistêmicos relacionados aos implantes e que despertam o desejo da sua remoção. Procedimento conhecido como explante. Este fenômeno, cujas dúvidas são inúmeras e as respostas mínimas, é conhecido na literatura mundial como Breast Implant Illness (BII). Na Internet e redes sociais, centenas de sinais e sintomas têm sido relacionados às próteses de silicone, usualmente inespecíficos. Os sintomas mais comuns referidos pelas pacientes são fadiga crônica, artralgia, confusão mental, mialgia, perda de memória, dificuldade de concentração e olhos secos. Até o momento, não existem testes diagnósticos para BII, nenhum método baseado em evidência científica para diferenciá-la de outras condições e há muito pouco conhecimento a respeito do seu início, curso, fatores de risco, causas e manejo adequado. A opção pela retirada dos implantes vem crescendo vertiginosamente nos últimos anos, sendo uma das dez cirurgias mais realizadas nos Estados Unidos no ano passado. A literatura mostra taxas de melhora dos sintomas variáveis após o explante e as pacientes mostram-se, via de regra, satisfeitas com seu resultado estético e apresentam níveis de ansiedade e estresse menores após o procedimento. São necessários estudos prospectivos, randomizados bem desenhados correlacionando períodos distintos das pacientes, desde o pré-operatório do implante até o pós-explante.


Despite more than 60 years of history, numerous studies and large population samples, in recent years, several patients have returned to the plastic surgeons office. They have doubts about the silicone, some due to the recent reports of BIAALCL, but the vast majority due to the possibility of systemic symptoms related to the implants and which arouse the desire for its removal. Procedure known as explant. This phenomenon, whose doubts are numerous and the responses are minimal, is known in the world literature as Breast Implant Illness (BII). On the Internet and social networks, hundreds of signs and symptoms have been related to silicone implants, usually nonspecific. The most common symptoms reported by patients are chronic fatigue, arthralgia, mental confusion, myalgia, memory loss, difficulty concentrating and dry eyes. So far, there are no diagnostic tests for BII, no method based on scientific evidence to differentiate it from other conditions, and there is very little knowledge about its onset, course, risk factors, causes and proper management. The option for removing the implants has been growing dramatically in recent years, being one of the ten most performed surgeries in the United States last year. The literature shows variable improvement rates after the explantation and the patients are, as a rule, satisfied with their aesthetic result and have lower levels of anxiety and stress after the procedure. Prospective, well-designed randomized studies correlating different periods are necessary, from the preoperative period of the implant until after the explantation.

ABSTRACT

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a benign condition generally seen as an incidental finding of biopsies for other causes. In some rare cases, it can evolve with expressive growth of breast tissue, leading to large breasts. The present study presents a case report of a patient who started with breast hypertrophy during lactation, evolving with gigantomastia, and arrived at the office 3 years after gestation with breasts of 6.2 and 4.3 kg and growth of accessory breast and axillary lymph nodes. The patient was emaciated, with bodily pain and psychological distress. Computed tomography was performed with the finding of diffuse retroglandular nodules and axillary and mediastinal lymph node enlargement, without being able to rule out the lymphoproliferative process. Then, core biopsies were made in several places on the breast whose pathological examination revealed PASH samples. Bilateral mastectomy was performed as a surgical treatment, with resection of the left accessory breast and left axillary lymph node, and breast reconstruction, with placement of silicone prostheses and graft of the areola-papillary complex, together with a plastic surgeon. She evolved in the postoperative period with good healing of the surgical wound, weight gain, necrosis of the areola-papillary complex and with severe psychiatric disorder, which was treated appropriately by psychiatrists, with remission of symptoms. This case report presents a rare evolution of PASH with gigantomastia, bringing intense physical and psychological distress to the patient, whose treatment chosen was total surgical resection of the breast tissue and aesthetic reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The use of anatomic implants has improved the aesthetic results of breast surgery; however, implant malrotation is an uncommon, but serious complication of these procedures. Nevertheless, little research has explored implant adhesion. In this study, we investigated adhesion between the expander and the capsule. METHODS: Seventy-nine cases of immediate breast reconstruction via two-stage implant-based reconstruction performed between September 2016 and November 2017 were evaluated. Mentor CPX4 expanders were used in 14 breasts, and Natrelle expanders in 65. We analyzed areas of adhesion on the surfaces of the tissue expanders when they were exchanged with permanent implants. We investigated whether adhesions occurred on the cephalic, caudal, anterior, and/or posterior surfaces of the expanders. RESULTS: Total adhesion occurred in 18 cases, non-adhesion in 15 cases, and partial adhesion in 46 cases. Of the non-adhesion cases, 80% (n=12) were with Mentor CPX4 expanders, while 94.4% (n=17) of the total adhesion cases were with Natrelle expanders. Of the partial adhesion cases, 90.7% involved the anterior-cephalic surface. The type of tissue expander showed a statistically significant relationship with the number of attachments in both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses (P<0.001) and with total drainage only in the univariate analysis (P=0.015). CONCLUSIONS: We sought to identify the location(s) of adhesion after tissue expander insertion. The texture of the implant was a significant predictor of the success of adhesion, and partial adhesion was common. The anterior-cephalic surface showed the highest adhesion rate. Nevertheless, partial adhesion suffices to prevent unwanted rotation of the expander.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A reconstrução imediata de mama realizada com o expansor de Becker é uma técnica de reconstrução versátil e consolidada na prática médica. Apresentamos uma proposta original com o uso do expansor de Becker associado a um segundo implante mamário. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo realizado no período de janeiro de 2014 a outubro de 2016 no Hospital A.C. Camargo. A análise dos prontuários das pacientes reconstruídas com Becker 35 avaliou o índice e tipo de complicações e a associação de rádio e quimioterapia e comorbidades das pacientes com 5 casos de associação de implantes. Resultados: 193 reconstruções com Becker em 168 pacientes. Vinte cinco casos com reconstrução bilateral. Idade média de 47 anos e 33% apresentaram comorbidades. Cento e dezenove (62%) pacientes seguiram radioterapia e quimioterapia pós-operatórias. Complicações: seroma em 7 pacientes, hematoma no retalho da mastectomia em 2 pacientes, necrose parcial do retalho da mastectomia em 3 pacientes, necrose/infecção com exposição do expansor em 2 pacientes. O total de complicações foi de 9,5%. Um total de 133 (69%) pacientes foram submetidas a esta segunda etapa cirúrgica para complementação da reconstrução da mama, sendo o expansor de Becker substituído por um implante definitivo. As pacientes com uso de Becker 35 associado a outro implante não apresentaram complicações. Conclusões: A associação do implante-expansor de Becker 35 a um segundo implante mamário foi eficaz em atingir um volume maior nas reconstruções mamárias com baixo índice de complicações.


Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction performed with the Becker expander is a versatile and accepted technique. We present an original proposal for the use of the Becker expander for a second breast implant. Methods: A retrospective study was performed between January 2014 and October 2016. Medical records were used to evaluate the indications and complications, the use of radio- and chemotherapy, and comorbidities in all patients, including 5 in whom combined implantation was performed. Results: The Becker expander was used for 193 reconstructions in 168 patients, including 25 cases with bilateral reconstructions. The average patient age was 47 years, and 33% had comorbidities. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were performed in 119 patients (62%). Complications included seroma in 7 patients, hematoma in the mastectomy flap in 2 patients, partial necrosis of the mastectomy flap in 3 patients, and necrosis/infection with expander exposure in 2 patients. Complications occurred in 9.5% of the cases. A total of 133 (69%) patients underwent a second surgical stage to complement breast reconstruction, with the Becker expander being replaced by a definitive implant. Patients in whom the Becker 35 expander was used in a second breast implant developed no complications. Conclusions: the use of the Becker 35 expander for a second breast implant was effective in achieving greater volume in breast reconstruction with a low rate of complications.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O autor preconiza redução da dimensão das cicatrizes nas mamoplastias às menores possíveis, utilizando cicatrizes em L como uma das táticas. Estabelece limites no seu uso, baseando as ressecções dos excedentes de pele na medida da ptose mamária. O objetivo é determinar os limites da mamoplastia em L. Métodos: Descreve a implantação das mamas no tórax, as linhas mamárias guias para qualquer mamoplastia, as mamas anatomicamente perfeitas e bonitas. Classifica o que denomina de "patologias estéticas" das mesmas, a maneira de quantificar a ptose em centímetros e escolhe a tática cirúrgica do L baseado nela, e suas limitações. Como reduzir e modelar as mamas hipertróficas e ptóticas conforme a classificação proposta. As manobras de suturar as incisões em "ponto e vírgula" partindo da lateral do sulco submamário para medial, depois para cima em direção ao ponto A, terminando em sutura vertical, V-Y ou "bolsa areolar de compensação circular", conforme o excedente de pele na região periareolar. Manobra que reduz a extensão da cicatriz horizontal, ao máximo de AM mais 2 cm. Resultados: Quando a medida da ptose mamária foi menor que 7 cm, os resultados foram de boa qualidade, sem ptose residual importante, sem distorções da aréola e do cone obtido. Conclusão: A mamoplastia com cicatriz em L é boa tática, mas deve limitar-se a casos com flacidez de medida AM abaixo de 7 cm e pele de boa qualidade.


Introduction: Studies recommend reducing the size of the scar on mammoplasties to the smallest possible, using L-scars as one of the techniques. However, its use is limited based on the resections of excess skin because of mammary ptosis. The objective of this study is to determine the limitations of L-mammoplasty. Methods: To describe the process of breast implantation, mammary lines are used to guide the mammoplasty to achieve anatomically perfect and beautiful breasts. This classifies as "aesthetic pathologies" with quantification of ptosis in centimeters and the limitations being considered in choosing the surgical technique. The proposed classification was used to reduce and model the hypertrophic and ptotic breasts. The suturing maneuvers involved a "semicolon" incision from the lateral side of the submammary groove to the medial and then upward toward point A, terminating in vertical suture, VY, or "areolar circular compensation bag," depending on the excess skin in the periareolar region. This maneuver reduces the extension of the horizontal scar to the maximum of AM plus 2 cm. Results: When mammary ptosis was less than 7 cm, the results were of good quality, without significant residual ptosis and distortion of the areola, achieving a cone shape. Conclusion: L-mammoplasty is a good technique, but it should be limited to cases with AM flaccidness below 7 cm and good skin quality.

ABSTRACT

Periprosthetic capsular contracture, implant rupture, and deflation are well-known delayed complications of augmentation mammaplasty. However, infection remains the most common cause of reoperation after breast implant surgery. We report the case of a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection with huge abscess formation after augmentation mammaplasty. A 29-year-old woman visited our clinic with enlarged breasts after undergoing breast augmentation at a local clinic 4 years ago. She had no pain and tenderness, except some hardness around the breast margin. Nine months after surgery, her breasts began to grow larger, but showed no other typical symptoms, which led the patient to neglect the enlargement. After exploring through an inframammary approach, a large amount of serous fluid leaked out on both sides and we identified a huge abscess in a pocket localized in the submuscular plane. During exploration, the infected implants, which contained a pus-like fluid with a foul odor, were completely drained. The specimen culture revealed growth of Mycobacterium abscessus, which is a rare cause of infections after breast augmentation. While the overall incidence of mycobacterial infections after breast augmentation is low, our case demonstrates that huge abscess and granuloma formation should be considered as a potential complication of breast surgery.

Four categories emerged: 1) Success (or lack thereof) in Exclusive Breastfeeding: influence of maternal and child biological conditions; 2) Maternal feelings: perception about breastfeeding; 3) Decision making on the continuity of breastfeeding or the use of formula; 4) The role of health professionals in protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding: Information (or lack thereof) on the implications of the surgery. Conclusion Unfavorable biological conditions of the women who underwent mammoplasty generated unsuccessful experiences in exclusive breastfeeding and limited their decision-making, despite their desire to breastfeed.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a associação entre as características cirúrgicas da mamoplastia de aumento, tempo decorrido da cirurgia, via de acesso, local de implantação e volume implantado e as variáveis relacionadas ao aleitamento, tipo, apojadura, ingurgitamento mamário, dor, lesão, produção láctea e uso de galactagogos. Método Coorte prospectiva realizada entre 2015 e 2017, com 115 puérperas com mamoplastia de aumento durante a internação hospitalar (12 a 72 horas após o parto), atendimento domiciliar (5º ao 7º dia após o parto) e contato telefônico (entre o 30º e o 32º dia após o parto). Resultados Na primeira avaliação, identificou-se o uso mais frequente de galactagogos orais (p=0,029) por puérperas com implante pré-peitoral, e de ocitocina spray por aquelas com prótese de até 270 ml (p=0,040). Na segunda avaliação, observou-se maior escore de dor naquelas com implante pré-peitoral (p=0,046). Em torno do 30º dia pós-parto, a presença de lesão mamilar (p=0,021), de dor (p=0,025) e seu maior escore (p=0,039) foram mais frequentes naquelas com mamoplastia realizada havia menos de 10 anos. Conclusão A presença e o maior escore dor, a ocorrência de lesão e o uso dos galactagogos orais e nasal estiveram associados ao local de implantação, ao tamanho da prótese e ao tempo decorrido da cirurgia.


ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the association between the surgical characteristics of breast implants, time elapsed since surgery, access route, implant placement and implanted volume and variables related to breastfeeding, type, first 'milk let-down', breast engorgement, pain, lesion, milk production and use of galactagogues. Method A prospective cohort carried out during the hospital stay (12 to 72 hours after delivery), home care (5thto 7thday after delivery) and telephone contact (between the 30thand 32ndday postpartum) of 115 postpartum women with breast implants between 2015 and 2017. Results The first evaluation identified more frequent use of oral galactagogues (p=0.029) by puerperal women with prepectoral implants, and of oxytocin spray by those with implants up to 270 ml (p=0.040). The second evaluation showed a higher pain score among those with prepectoral implants (p=0.046). Around the 30thday postpartum, the presence of nipple lesion (p=0.021), pain (p=0.025) and a higher pain score (p=0.039) was more frequent among those with mammoplasty performed less than 10 years ago. Conclusion The presence of pain and a higher pain score, the occurrence of lesion and the use of oral and nasal galactagogues were associated with implant placement, implant size and time elapsed since surgery.


RESUMEN Objetivo En el presente estudio se analizó la asociación entre las características quirúrgicas de la mamoplastia de aumento, tiempo transcurrido de la cirugía, vía de acceso, lugar de implantación y volumen implantado y las variables relacionadas con la lactancia, tipo, apogeo, ingurgitación mamaria, dolor, lesión, producción láctea y uso de galactagogos. Método Cohorte prospectiva realizada entre 2015 y 2017, con 115 puérperas con mamoplastia de aumento durante la internación hospitalaria (12 a 72 horas después del parto), atención domiciliar (5º al 7º día después del parto) y contacto telefónico (entre el 30º y el 32º día después del parto). Resultados En la primera evaluación, se identificó el uso más frecuente de galactagogos orales (p=0,029) por puérperas con implante pre-pectoral, y de oxitocina spray por aquellas con prótesis de hasta 270 ml (p=0,040). En la segunda evaluación, se observó mayor puntaje de dolor en aquellas con implante pre-pectoral (p=0,046). En torno al 30º día post-parto, la presencia de lesión mamilar (p=0,021), de dolor (p=0,025) y su mayor puntuación (p=0,039) fueron más frecuentes en aquellas con mamoplastia realizada hace menos de 10 años. Conclusión La presencia y el mayor puntaje de dolor, la ocurrencia de lesión y el uso de los galactagogos orales y nasales estuvieron asociados al lugar de implantación, al tamaño de la prótesis y al tiempo transcurrido de la cirugía.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical outcomes of xenogenic acellular dermal matrix in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction following nipple/skin sparing mastectomy.Methods From January 2015 to June 2017,patients that underwent immediate implant-based breast reconstruction following nipple/skin-sparing mastectomy were retrospectively studied.Results 43 female patients with breast cancer were enrolled.A retrospective review was performed on patients that were reconstructed with either alloplastic reconstruction (group A,18 breasts) or xenogenic acellular matrix dermal (group B,25 groups).Differences in the average age,body mass index,numbers of diabetic patients,numbers of active smoker,and volume of implant between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05).All patients were followed up from 3 to 28 months,with the middle time of 18,7 months.Complications in both groups of patients were clinically recorded after operation.When comparing clinical outcomes,group A had fewer drain (523.17±62.18) ml vs (639.56±54.34)ml,and fewer days before drain removal (7.83±1.58) d vs (10.2±1.44) d.No significant difference was seen in terms of seroma,hematoma,delayed healing,infection,nipple necrosis,capsular contracture,or tumor recurrence.Conclusions The use of xenogenic acellular matrix dermal in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction following nipple/skin-sparing mastectomy is as safe and effective as alloplastic reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the key points of surgical techniques in individualized breast augmentation via inframammary fold (IMF) incision.Methods Fifty-six patients of our department from March 2014 to March 2017 in this group were followed up for 3-18 months,with average 12 months.According to the patients' characteristics to determine the size and dimensions of the implant and the exact position of new IMF,via IMF incision we inserted an implant part under the pectoralis major muscle and part posterior to the breast after precisely stripping and forming the implant pocket,which were the dual-plane augmentation mammoplasty.Results Compared with traditional endoscope-assisted breast augmentation via axillary incision,the breast augmentation via inframammary fold incision was more accurate,the operation time was shortened by an average of one hour,the intraoperative hemorrhage decreased by about 20 ml on average,the postoperative drainage fluid was reduced by about 70 ml on average,the hospitalization time was shortened by about 3 days,the postoperative breast shape was naturally upright,and the incision was hidden at the new inframammary fold.No hematoma,infection,significant hypertrophic scar,capsule contracture and other complications were noted.Conclusions The individualized dual-plane augmentation mammoplasty via IMF incision can hide the incision in the inframammary fold.The operation under direct vision and no use of special equipments make it an ideal breast augmentation surgery.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the quality and quantity of data in the questionnaires and in request forms for magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with data from 300 medical records. The research used the following data from the questionnaires: patient age, reason for the magnetic resonance imaging, reason for placing the breast implant, report of any signs or symptoms, time elapsed since surgery to place the current breast implant, replacement implant surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy treatments. From the magnetic resonance imaging request forms, information about the breast implant, the implant placement surgery, patient clinical information and ordering physician specialty were verified. Results: The mean age of patients was 48.8 years, and the mean time elapsed since breast implant surgery was 5 years. A total of 60% of women in the sample were submitted to aesthetic surgery, while 23.7% were submitted to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. In the request forms, 23.7% of physicians added some piece of information about the patient, whereas 2.3% of them informed the type of implant and 5.2% informed about the surgery. Conclusion: The amount of information in the magnetic resonance imaging request forms is very limited, and this may hinder quality of radiological reports. Institutional and technological measures should be implemented to encourage the requesting physicians and radiologists to share information.


RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a qualidade e a quantidade de dados que constam nos questionários e nas requisições médicas de exame de ressonância magnética. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo com 300 prontuários de pacientes. Dos questionários, foram utilizados os seguintes dados: idade, razão para a realização do exame, motivo para a colocação da prótese, referência a sinal ou sintoma, tempo decorrido desde a cirurgia de implante da prótese atual, se a cirurgia foi de troca da prótese, e se foi submetida à radioterapia ou à quimioterapia. Das requisições médicas do exame, foram utilizadas informações sobre prótese mamária, cirurgia de colocação do implante, dados clínico da paciente e especialidade do médico requisitante. Resultados: A média da idade das pacientes foi de 48,8 anos, e o tempo decorrido desde a colocação do implante foi de 5 anos, na média. Foram submetidas à cirurgia estética 60% das mulheres da amostra, e 23,7% tinham sido submetidas à quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia. Na requisição médica, 23,7% dos médicos inseriram algum dado, sendo que 2,3% informaram o tipo de implante e 5,2% sobre a cirurgia realizada. Conclusão: A quantidade de informações contidas nas requisições médicas foi baixa, o que pode comprometer a qualidade do laudo radiológico. Medidas institucionais e tecnológicas deveriam ser adotadas para estimular o intercâmbio de informações entre o médico solicitante e o médico radiologista.

ABSTRACT

Descrever um caso de mama tuberosa com importante assimetria mamária, descrever a técnica e avaliar o resultado de caso. Diferentes técnicas foram usadas em cada mama, apesar de na literatura dizer que é importante empregar uma estratégia semelhante em ambas as mamas. A paciente evoluiu sem complicações e apresenta, com 6 meses de pós-operatório, resultado extremamente satisfatório, sem estigmas de mama tuberosa e com melhora importante da assimetria mamária. Na literatura é estabelecido que não há uma única técnica cirúrgica adequada para a correção dos diferentes tipos de malformações. A mama tuberosa representa um desafio nas cirurgias plásticas da mama e se tornam mais complexas quando a assimetria é mais exacerbada. Porém, o cirurgião que dominar as mais diversas técnicas mamárias estéticas e reconstrutoras poderá alcançar um resultado satisfatório.


To report a case of tuberous breast with significant breast asymmetry, describe the technique used and evaluate the outcome of the case. Different techniques were used on each breast, although studies in literature recommend the use of similar strategy in both breasts. The patient progressed without complications and had, 6 months after the surgery, extremely satisfactory result without tuberous breast stigmas, and significant improvement of breast asymmetry. The literature establishes that not only one surgical technique is adequate to correct different types of malformations. Tuberous breast constitutes a challenge in breast plastic surgery and it becomes more complex when the asymmetry is more severe. However, surgeons who is trained in a variety of aesthetic and breast reconstructive techniques can achieve a satisfactory result.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: As fibromatoses consistem na proliferação de tecido fibroso, na forma de faixas ou nódulos, associadas às fáscias e aponeuroses. Sua variedade agressiva, denominada previamente tumor desmoide, se comporta de forma semelhante a uma neoplasia maligna, com destruição local de tecidos, sem, entretanto, originar metástases. MÉTODOS: Fez-se revisão da literatura de1979 a janeiro de 2017. Dados de três pacientes, operados entre maio de 2010 e agosto de 2015, foram revistos, com proservação até março de 2017. Observaram-se idade, características do implante, via de introdução do mesmo, tempo decorrido entre o implante e o aparecimento da fibromatose, tratamento cirúrgico instituído, acompanhamento clínico e resultados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 24 trabalhos na literatura disponível, versando sobre fibromatose agressiva da parede torácica associada ao implante mamário de silicone, nos quais foram relatados 34 casos. São apresentados três casos de fibromatose agressiva associados ao implante mamário de silicone. Os casos foram tratados com sucesso por ressecção alargada da parede torácica, incluindo pele, musculatura, costelas, fáscia endotorácica e pleura parietal. A reconstrução foi bem-sucedida, realizada com tela aloplástica (Prolene & reg;) recoberta por retalho muscular em dois casos e retalho cutâneo local em um caso. CONCLUSÃO: A associação de fibromatose agressiva e implante mamário é rara. O tratamento deve consistir em cirurgia alargada, removendo-se o implante e toda a área da cápsula adjacente, em conjunto com parte da mama, costelas subjacentes, musculatura intercostal, fáscia endotorácica e pleura parietal. A reconstrução deve ser feita com tela aloplástica associada a retalho muscular ou retalho tegumentar local.


INTRODUCTION: Fibromatoses consists of the proliferation of fibrous tissue, in the form of bands or nodules, associated with fasciae and aponeuroses. The aggressive variety, previously denominated desmoid tumor, behaves similarly to malignant neoplasm, with local destruction of tissues, without, however, producing metastases. METHODS: A literature review was carried out from 1979 to January 2017. Data from three patients, operated between May 2010 and August 2015, were reviewed. Age, implant characteristics, route of introduction, time elapsed between implantation and fibromatosis, surgical treatment, clinical follow-up and results were observed. RESULTS: Twenty-four papers were found in the literature reporting aggressive fibromatosis of the chest wall associated with silicone breast implant. In these studies, 34 cases were reported. Three new cases of aggressive fibromatosis associated with silicone breast implant are now presented. These cases were successfully treated by extensive resection of the chest wall, including skin, musculature, ribs, endothoracic fascia, and parietal pleura. The reconstruction was successful, performed with alloplastic mesh (Prolene & reg;) covered by muscular flap in two cases and local skin flap in one case. CONCLUSION: The association of aggressive fibromatosis and breast implant is rare. The treatment should consist of extensive surgery, removing the breast implant and the entire area of the capsule around it, part of breast, together with the underlying ribs, intercostal muscles, endothoracic fascia and parietal pleura. The reconstruction should be made with an alloplastic mesh, covered by muscular flaps or local skin flap.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Os implantes mamários continuam sendo uma opção muito popular tanto para pacientes de cirurgia plástica estética quanto reconstrutora. Existem múltiplos fatores que podem afetar os resultados de cirurgias com implante mamário. Um adequado planejamento sobre o posicionamento da incisão, necessidade de associar mastopexia, plano de inserção e modelo do implante aumentam a probabilidade de resultados adequados e minimizam a necessidade de tratamento cirúrgico secundário. Estudo realizado para descrever a experiência do serviço de Cirurgia Plástica do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre entre 2011 e 2016 correlacionando o planejamento cirúrgico realizado com as taxas de complicações e reintervenção cirúrgica. MÉTODOS: Coorte retrospectiva que analisou os pacientes submetidos a implantes mamários no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre entre 2011 e 2016, sendo incluídos somente casos de mamoplastia de aumento estética, associada ou não à mastopexia. Todos os pacientes tiveram seu prontuário analisado; posteriormente, realizou-se uma ligação telefônica para complementar as informações do questionário. Finalizou-se com uma consulta com um cirurgião plástico do serviço, que examinou a paciente e confirmou os dados coletados para o questionário, não sendo em nenhum caso o cirurgião assistente. RESULTADOS: Não há diferença significativa entre a variação no planejamento cirúrgico e a incidência de complicações. CONCLUSÃO: Ainda não há consenso quanto à melhor via de acesso e plano do implante mamário, sendo necessários estudos comparando as diferentes rotinas de cada serviço. No momento os melhores resultados ainda são baseados numa rotina sistematizada, dissecção cirúrgica precisa e contaminação mínima.


INTRODUCTION: Breast implants remain a very popular option both for aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeries. A number of factors can affect the results of breast implant surgeries. The adequate planning on incision placement, need to associate mastopexy, insertion plane, and implant model increase the likelihood of adequate outcomes and reduce the need for secondary surgical treatment. This study describes the experience of a Plastic Surgery Service at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre from 2011 to 2016 by correlating surgical planning with complication rates and surgical reintervention. METHODS: A retrospective cohort that analyzed patients who underwent breast implants at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre between 2011 and 2016, and included only cases of aesthetic breast augmentation, associated or not with mastopexy. All patients had their records analyzed, and after that an interview by phone was conducted to complement the information of the questionnaire. The analyzed was concluded with an appointment with a plastic surgeon of the service who examined the patient and confirmed the data collected for the questionnaire. No patients was evaluated by the assistant surgeon in last examination. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between variation in surgical planning and incidence of complications. CONCLUSION: Still, no consensus exists regarding the best access route and plan for the breast implant. Further studies are necessary to compare the different routines of each service. Currently, best results are still based on routine systematization, precise surgical dissection and minimal contamination.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the main managements of surgical complications in reconstructive mammoplasties with prostheses through a systematic literature review, and to evaluate the effectiveness in preserving the reconstruction. The secondary objective was to analyze factors regarding prosthetic loss. Methods: We used the MedLine database through the following expressions: "breast cancer" or "breast neoplasm" or "breast and neoplasm" or "breast and cancer" and "implants complications" or "implants and complications". The reference period for these studies comprised January 2000 to July 2016. Results: Of the 856 articles found, seven were included to analyze the applied protocols. The rate of saved prostheses after stratification of complications and use of managements varied from 45 to 100%, depending on the degree of complication. Other 12 articles that evaluated the factors associated with prosthetic loss were secondarily chosen. Radiotherapy was considered the most frequent factor and was found in seven studies. The number of lost prostheses varied from 0.9 to 22.7% in such studies. Conclusion: There is still no agreement on how to manage complications of reconstructive mammoplasties with prostheses. The decision remains a challenge, and therefore surgeons need to know the possible conducts in order to establish the most appropriate treatment.


Objetivos: O objetivo principal deste estudo foi determinar, por meio de revisão sistemática da literatura, as principais condutas nas complicações cirúrgicas de mastectomias reconstruídas com próteses, bem como avaliar a eficácia em preservar a reconstrução. O objetivo secundário foi analisar fatores relacionados à perda da prótese. Métodos: Foi empregado o banco de dados do MedLine, utilizando as expressões: breast cancer, ou breast neoplasm ou breast and neoplasm ou breast and cancer e implants complications ou implants and complications. O período de referência desses estudos foi de janeiro de 2000 até julho de 2016. Resultados: Dos 856 artigos encontrados, 7 foram incluídos para análise dos protocolos de condutas aplicados. A taxa de próteses salvas após estratificação das complicações e aplicação das condutas variou de 45 a 100%, a depender do grau de complexidade. Foram selecionados, secundariamente, outros 12 artigos que avaliaram fatores associados à perda da prótese. A mais frequente foi a radioterapia com 7 estudos. O número de próteses perdidas variou entre 0,9 e 22,7% nesses estudos. Conclusão: Ainda não existe unanimidade no manejo das complicações de mastectomias reconstruídas com próteses. Portanto, a decisão permanece desafiadora e o cirurgião necessita conhecer as possíveis condutas para definir a mais apropriada.
