ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine sensitivity and specificity of real-time ultrasonography in detecting breast implant complications. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
The results of preoperative ultrasonography of 121 silicone implants in 65 patients were compared with the results after operative implant removal.RESULTS:
With a sensitivity of 89.25% and a specificity of 92.1%, complications such as gel bleeding (n = 43), rupture with leakage (n = 63), and implant dissolution (n = 4) become manifest. Capsule formation, fibrosis, siliconoma and calcifications were often underestimated in their extent. Negative ultrasonography findings were found in 10.7% (n = 13) with positive clinical findings.CONCLUSIONS:
The combination of clinical and ultrasonography findings leads to the detection of implant complications.
