A new method for the treatment of refractory fistula after breast augmentation / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore a new surgical method for the treatment of refractory fistula after breast augmentation and to improve patients healing efficiently.Methods This paper had collected two groups,a total of 178 cases of injected breast augmentation,who had shown the polyacrylamide hydrogel(PAAG)mixture shift,and caused abdominal fistula.Among them,89 cases further adopt new design in the treatment of fistula by using breast muscle membrane tissue flap and improve the effect of fistula treatment after the removal of fistula.And the other 89 cases were token the pure clean the cavity away caused by the abnormal material shift into the chest and abdominal wall.Results It was observed that PAAG widely distributed in the chest and abdominal wall and formatted the fistula connected mammary gland,axillary,chest abdominal wall.The area of lesions lacuna shrink by 80％ for the group used tissue flap after 2 weeks,but those not with tissue flap shrink by 45％(P＜0.01).At 4th week,all the patients of flap group achieved tissue healed,while the completely heal ratio of control group was only 73％.Compared two groups of healing rate,the group with tissue flap was obviously better than ones only with surgical method.Conclusion It suggests that main reasons for the liquidity bag and huge cavity are PAAG mixture shift into thoracic and abdominal wall and formed chronic fistula and connected the chest and abdominal wall.Local muscle membrane tissue flap can obviously promote the chest and abdominal wall fistula healing.
