Capsular contracture in silicone gel and saline-filled breast implants after reconstruction 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
O Asplund 《Plastic and reconstructive surgery》1984,73(2):270-275
Comparisons between results with randomly allotted silicone-gel and saline-filled prostheses in breast reconstruction after mastectomy led to the following conclusions. Neither prosthesis type is ideal. Leakage from saline-filled implants occurred in 2 of the 37 implants, with resultant deflation. Silicone prostheses had a significantly higher rate of capsular contracture [surgeon's evaluation: 54 percent capsular contracture for silicone-gel compared with 20 percent for saline-filled prostheses (p = 0.006); patients' evaluation for the same figures: 54 percent compared with 29 percent (p = 0.03)]. Other authors have shown the presence of silicone in the tissue around silicone-gel-filled silicone implants, but less or none around saline-filled silicone implants. Since the only difference between the two groups was the randomly allotted implants, we assume that the free silicone around silicone-gel-filled prostheses is the major cause of capsular contracture. Since the saline-filled implants showed a 20 percent capsular contracture rate, there could be other causes of capsular contracture in this study. For prevention of contracture, improved implant encapsulation and use of a less reactive filling substance seem to offer possibilities. Surgical technique should aim to preserve the integrity of the prosthesis. 相似文献

A clinical comparison of the tendency to capsular contracture between smooth and textured gel-filled silicone mammary implants. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The aim of this prospective, controlled clinical investigation was to find out if there is a difference in the capsular contracture rate between silicone implants with a smooth or textured surface as the only difference. Twenty-five women with bilateral mammary hypoplasia underwent mammary augmentation. All got a textured implant on one side and a smooth implant on the other. The implants were placed subglandularly. Follow-up examinations were done on six occasions. Three parameters were used for estimation of the tendency to capsular contracture: (1) the patient's opinion on differences in hardness of the breasts, (2) the investigator's classification of capsular contracture, and (3) applanation tonometry. At the end of the follow-up period, after 1 year, all parameters showed with no doubt that the breasts augmented with textured implants had a lower tendency to develop contracting capsules than the breasts augmented with smooth implants. 相似文献

The metatolic fate of silicone gel leaked from an intact or ruptured prosthesis is unknown. In this study, serum was blindly
assayed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) for elemental silicon in 72 women with silicone
gel breast implants and 55 control women (mean age 48 yr, both groups). Blood was drawn and processed using silicon-free materials.
The mean silicon level in controls was 0.13±0.07 mg/L (range 0.06–0.35 mg/L), whereas in implant patients, the mean was significantly
higher at 0.28±0.22 mg/L (range 0.06–0.87 mg/L) (P<0.01, Student'st-test with correction for unequal variances). Using the mean of the control group +2 SD as a cutoff for normal range (0.27
mg/L), 25/72 (34.7%) implant patients exceeded this value, compared with 2/55 (3.6%) controls. There was no significant correlation
between past rupture of one or both implants, current rupture at the time of the blood draw, or the number of years with implants
and silicon levels. The results suggest that serum silicon levels are elevated in many women with silicone gel breast implants.
The chemical species involved and kinetics of this elevation remain to be determined. 相似文献

The main drawback with augmentation mammaplasty using implants is capsular contracture. The cause of this complication is still unknown. Silicone particles, hematoma, and bacterial contamination are some of the etiologic factors discussed. In this randomized, double-blind study on 76 breast-augmented women, 50 percent of the patients had preoperative prophylaxis with benzylpenicillin and dicloxacillin. Bacteria samples were taken intraoperatively. The number of negative cultures increased significantly with antibiotic prophylaxis. In four follow-ups during the first postoperative year, the rate of contractures was evaluated by subjective and objective methods. The results showed no statistically significant difference between the placebo and the antibiotic group with respect to the incidence of capsular contracture. 相似文献

Rate and incidence of capsular contracture: a comparison of smooth and textured silicone double-lumen breast prostheses 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
R A Ersek 《Plastic and reconstructive surgery》1991,87(5):879-884
Capsular contracture results in dissatisfaction and deformity among the 2 million women who have had silicone implants. The literature describes contracture rates as high as 74 percent. I present a comparison of rates and incidences of contracture in patients augmented with smooth and textured double-lumen silicone implants. A total of 165 "smooth" and 63 "textured" implant patients were included in this study, which spans 12 years, 1978-1990. All patients underwent bilateral aesthetic augmentation performed by the same surgeon. Of the 165 smooth implant patients, 74 (44.8 percent) experienced contractures requiring treatment. Of the 63 textured implant patients, 3 (4.8 percent) previous contracture patients experienced sudden fibrosis within 3 months. All others remained soft. It appears that deeply textured silicone surfaces delay or decrease the rate and incidence of clinical capsular contracture, at least for 2 years. 相似文献

The incidence of capsular contracture is reduced when smooth-surfaced, saline-filled implants are placed subpectorally, avoiding contamination and the presence of blood. In addition, since the authors began using compression, they have not had one single capsular contracture requiring surgery. The authors' technique, their preoperative and postoperative regimens, an explanation of how they use compression, and the scientific and mathematical explanation of why compression could be the most important factor in preventing capsular compression are described. Of more than 1700 augmentations performed in our private clinic, only 830 could be included in the study. The patients were followed clinically for 1 year, after which time they completed a questionnaire, the results of which showed the authors that capsular contracture had not developed. 相似文献

In various fibrotic diseases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), play an important role. In our study, serum concentrations of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 17 female patients with Baker grade II (n =9), III (n =7), and IV (n =1) capsular contracture after bilateral cosmetic mamma augmentation with Trilucent implants (AEI, Inc., Caversham, United Kingdom). Samples of capsular tissue for standard histology and immunohistochemistry were obtained from all patients. Sera from 20 female patients who had plastic surgery for reduction mammaplasty were used as the control group. The aminoterminal propeptide of procollagen type III (PIIINP) and hyaluronan were analyzed as markers for fibrogenesis in both groups, too. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman rank correlation. Patients with capsular contracture presented significantly higher concentrations of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in their sera than did the control group (p < 0.05), which correlated with Baker grade (r = 0.7 versus r = 0.65; p < 0.05). The concentration of MMP-2 was significantly higher in the sera of patients with capsule fibrosis, whereas there were no significant differences in MMP-1, MMP-9, and PIIINP serum concentrations. Patients with capsule fibrosis had a significantly lower MMP-to-TIMP ratio (1.1 +/- 0.4, p <0.05) than the control group (1.5 +/- 0.4), which correlated with the Baker classification (r =0.7; p <0.05). The hyaluronan serum concentration of patients with capsular contracture was significantly higher (p < 0.05) and correlated with the Baker grade (r = 0.73; p < 0.05), whereas PIIINP showed no difference. In the histologic evaluation, there was a chronic inflammatory reaction in the capsules around the breast implants and refracting material within the substance. Immunohistochemically, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 showed an intensive accumulation, and MMP-2 showed a local reaction. PIIINP could be detected, too, whereas there was no staining for MMP-1 and MMP-9.The elevated systemic MMP-2 concentration and the local positive staining in the tissue might be due to the chronic inflammatory reaction. Nevertheless, the balance between MMPs and their natural inhibitors is disturbed in patients with capsule contracture. The elevated systemic concentration of TIMPs might be a pathway in the pathogenesis of severe fibrosis after breast augmentation with alloplastic material. Hyaluronan might be a useful marker for early prediction of capsule fibrosis, whereas PIIINP is not useful as a predictor. 相似文献

This study analyzed the shells of single-lumen silicone gel breast implants within the general context of device durability in vivo. The investigation included the major types of gel-filled implants that were manufactured in the United States in a 30-year period. The implants analyzed were Cronin seamed (two explants and one control), Silastic 0 and Silastic I (18 explants and seven controls), and Silastic II (22 explants and 43 controls). The biodurability of the explants was investigated with measurements of the mechanical and chemical properties of the various types of silicone gel control and explanted shells, with implantation times ranging from 3 months to 32 years. The shell properties measured for the controls and explants included the stress-strain relationships, tensile strength, elongation, tear resistance, moduli, cross-link density, and amount of extractable material in the shell. In addition, the mechanical properties of shells that had been extracted with hexane were analyzed for both explants and control implants. The silicone gel explants investigated in this study included some of the oldest explants of the various major types that have been tested to date. For assessment of long-term implantation effects, the data obtained in this study were combined with all known data from other institutions on the various major types of gel implants. The study also addressed the failure mechanisms associated with silicone gel breast implants. The results of the study demonstrated that silicone gel implants have remained intact for 32 years in vivo and that degradation of the shell mechanical and chemical properties is not a primary mechanism for silicone gel breast implant failure. 相似文献

Ten-year review of a prospective randomized controlled trial of textured versus smooth subglandular silicone gel breast implants 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Although textured silicone breast implants have been shown to reduce the incidence of capsular contracture, there is little evidence if this effect is maintained in the long term. It has been 10 years since the double-blind randomized trial in which 53 patients received either Mentor smooth (26) or textured silicone gel implants (27). Of the 14 patients who were not known to have developed a contracture in the smooth group, 11 were reviewed. Three had bilateral contractures. In the textured group, 18 of the 24 patients not known to have contractures were reviewed. None had developed contractures. At 10 years, the incidence of capsular contracture was 65 percent of patients with smooth implants (an increase of 6 percent on the 3-year results) and 11 percent for the textured implant patients (no change on the 3-year results). A database containing the details of 1100 patients reinforces these results by examining the differences in contracture rates of textured, smooth, and polyurethane-coated implants. The effect of submuscular placement on reducing contracture rates regardless of texturing is discussed, as is the apparent increase in capsular contracture in patients who smoke. 相似文献

Variability in the properties of silicone gel breast implants. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Several generations of silicone gel breast implants have been produced by implant manufacturers. The primary material usually viewed as the base material in the manufacture of implants is polydimethylsiloxane. Polymeric reactions are notorious for their variability and nonuniformity. The elastomer used in different types of implants can have vastly different properties. Furthermore, the material properties associated with a particular type of implant can vary considerably from one lot to the next. Considering the various designs, styles, and manufacturing techniques associated with silicone gel implants, knowledge of the original properties of the implants before implantation is important in determining the effects of aging in vivo. This study was conducted to investigate differences in key mechanical and chemical properties of silicone gel breast implant materials. The two types of implants chosen for analysis were Silastic I and Silastic II control implants. Material property data were determined for both types of controls and significant differences were found in their values. Lot-to-lot variability was also investigated and found to be significant. 相似文献
