What Happened after the Poly Implant Prothèse Recall? A Prospective Cohort Study of 808 Implants into the Predictive Value of Implant Rupture on Postexchange Complications.

Background: Problems with a variety of breast implants have emerged with consequences for patients' health and safety. The authors' goal was to follow up on their Poly Implant Prothèse patients after their implant exchange.

Methods: This single-center, single-surgeon, prospective cohort study lasted from 2012 until 2017.

The no-drain, no-quilt abdominoplasty: a single-surgeon series of 271 patients.

Background: Recent innovations in abdominoplasty include progressive tension "quilting" sutures or Scarpa fascia preservation to limit the risk of seromas and hematomas. No-drain abdominoplasty with progressive tension sutures has been well documented. The authors describe outcomes in patients undergoing abdominoplasty with a modified surgical technique (including sub-Scarpa fascia fat preservation) and no use of drains or progressive tension sutures-the "no-drain, no-quilt" abdominoplasty.

Diagnosing PIP breast implant failure: a prospective analysis of clinical and ultrasound accuracy.

Introduction: The risk of Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP) breast implant failure has been quantified by the Department of Health as 2-6 times greater than other brands. In the UK, removal of PIP breast implants is recommended when failure is suspected from patient history or clinical findings. Owing to conflicting reports of accuracy in current literature, ultrasound is not recommended as a routine investigation.

PIP silicone breast implants: rupture rates based on the explantation of 676 implants in a single surgeon series.

Introduction: To determine the true rupture rates of PIP implants from a large single surgeon cohort and to assess whether rupture rates varied depending on time of implant insertion. In addition, the efficacy of ultra sound scanning (USS) in determining rupture is examined.

Design: Predominantly prospectively based analysis of patient records, investigations and surgical findings.
