ABSTRACT

Capsular contracture (CC) is one of the most common complications of implant-based breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery. Common risk factors of CC include biofilm, surgical site infections, history of prior CC or fibrosis, history of radiation therapy, and implant characteristics. Though bacterial contamination of breast protheses is associated with adverse sequelae, there are not universally accepted guidelines and limited best practice recommendations for antimicrobial breast pocket irrigation. Despite advanced molecular biology, the exact mechanism of this complication is not fully understood. Interventions that decrease the rate of CC include antibiotic prophylaxis or irrigation, acellular dermal matrix, leukotriene inhibitors, surgical techniques, and others. However, there is inconsistent evidence supporting these risk factors, and the current data was based on broad heterogeneous studies. The objective of this review was to provide a summary of the current data of contributing risk factors as well as preventative and treatment measures for CC.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

ABSTRACT

Dieulafoy's lesion is an uncommon but important cause of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Extragastric location of Dieulafoy's lesion is rare. We report a case of haemorrhagic shock due to delafoy ulcer of the duodenum. After the failure of endoscopic haemostatic treatment, and due to the hemodynamic instability, the patient was not a candidate for transarterial embolization, the emergency surgery was needed to stop the bleeding. Using minimally invasive technique, we were able to avoid radical surgery, in critical patient would have high mortality rate. Aggressive endoscopic examinations combined with the accurate treatment endoscopic, or after the failure of this, in cases of severe hemorrhagic shock, surgical approach should be adopted when Dieulafoy-like lesion is suspected as a possible cause of upper GI haemorrhage.
