Objective: This study aims at combined surgical therapy options concerning patients with a clinically relevant and long-established capsular contracture following subglandular breast augmentation in a glandular ptotic breast.
Methods: This is a review of 23 patients with capsular contracture. Three patients had a revision surgery for capsular contracture and implant dislocation before.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of FDG PET in the follow-up for breast cancer in disease-free patients and patients suspected of having recurrent or metastatic disease. As a single imaging tool, PET can be compared with the conventional diagnostic means used for different examination sites.
Patients And Methods: A total of 73 PET studies were carried out on 57 patients who had been diagnosed as having breast cancer.
Background: A study was undertaken to investigate long-term histological changes in the environment of breast implants and their correlation with complains at the time of capsular contracture defined by the Baker score.
Method: The collagenous capsules of 53 silicone breast implants from 43 patients (23 smooth and 30 textured devices) were evaluated histologically for capsular thickness, the presence of histiocytes, the amount of silicone and calcification in the capsule, and the presence of synovial-like metaplasia of the inner surface of the capsule with light microscopy and polarised light. All parameters were correlated with the Baker score.
