ABSTRACT

Las infecciones periprotésicas son una complicación poco frecuente en cirugía de implantes mamarios, pero de difícil resolución si son causadas por gérmenes como las micobacterias. Mycobacterium abscessus es una micobacteria no tuberculosa de rápido crecimiento, que se presenta de manera atípica, generando abscesos y fístulas cutáneas. En este reporte presentamos el caso de una paciente que fue intervenida por recambio de implantes mamarios y mastopexia secundaria. La paciente presentó un seroma temprano como manifestación inicial y posteriormente desarrolló múltiples abscesos en todo el parénquima mamario. El tratamiento instaurado en la paciente fue la extracción del implante mamario,curaciones diarias de la herida, antibioticoterapia prolongada y punciones periódicas guiadas por ecografía, con cultivo del material obtenido. El objetivo de nuestro reporte fue presentar esta complicación generada por un germen poco frecuente, su forma de presentación, diagnóstico y el tratamiento establecido


Although periprosthetic infections are a rare complication in breast implant surgery, they are difficult to resolve if they entail germs like mycobacteria. Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing, nontuberculous mycobacterium that occurs atypically and generates abscesses and cutaneous fistulas. In this report, we present the case of a patient that underwent surgery for a breast implant replacement and a secondary mastopexy. The initial manifestation the patient evinced was an early seroma. Later, she developed multiple abscesses in all the breast parenchyma. The treatment established for the patient involved extracting the breast implant, daily cleaning and dressing of the wound, prolonged antibiotic therapy, and periodical punctures guided by ultrasound, accompanied by culture sampling. The aim of this report is to present this infrequent germ-generated complication, its form of manifestation, its diagnosis, and the established treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the oncologic and surgical safety of the fused fascia method for immediate breast reconstruction with implants. Methods: The clinical data of 343 patients with immediate breast reconstruction with implants in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from 2014-2017 were retrospectively analyzed to compare the 5-year local recurrence-free survival, 5-year disease-free survival and 5-year overall survival of patients with breast reconstruction by fusion fascia and other methods, and to analyze the complication incidences of implant removal between different implant groups. Results: Of the 343 patients with breast reconstruction, 95 were in the fused fascia group (fascia group) and 248 were in the non-fascia group (25 in the bovine pericardial patch group and 223 in the muscle flap group). At a median follow-up of 49 months, the differences in 5-year local recurrence-free survival (90.1% and 94.9%, respectively), 5-year disease-free survival (89.2% and 87.6%, respectively), and 5-year overall survival (95.2% and 95.1%, respectively) between patients in the fascial and non-fascial groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The complication incidence of implant removal was 24.0% (6/25) in the patch group and 2.1% (2/95) and 2.2% (5/223) in the fascia and muscle flap groups, respectively. Conclusion: Immediate breast reconstruction with fused fascial combined with implant is safe and feasible, less invasive than muscle flaps, more economical and with fewer complications than patches.

ABSTRACT

La neumonía organizada es una entidad poco frecuente, caracterizada por la formación de conglomerados fibroblásticos intraalveolares conocidos como cuerpos de Masson, que puede ser criptogénica o secundaria a una respuesta inmunitaria a diversos estímulos, tales como enfermedades hematológicas, autoinmunitarias, exposición a sustancias químicas, fármacos, tóxicos, etc. Detectada y tratada de forma precoz, suele tener una buena respuesta a la corticoterapia, aunque si se diagnostica de forma tardía, la afectación pulmonar puede ser extensa, y, además, si el estímulo antigénico persiste, la respuesta al tratamiento será incompleta. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 65 años de edad quien hace 18 meses aproximadamente presentó la rotura intracapsular de sus implantes mamarios, 27 años después de su colocación. Con el mismo tiempo de evolución ha desarrollado progresivamente disnea, tos seca y dolor inframamario, habiendo llegado al diagnóstico de neumonía organizada bilateral difusa, asociada a dicha rotura de implantes.


Organizing pneumonia is a rare entity, characterized by the formation of intraalveolar fibroblastic conglomerates known as Masson bodies, which may be cryptogenic or secondary to an immune response to various stimuli, such as hematological, autoimmune diseases, exposure to chemical substances, drugs, toxics, etc. If it is detected and treated early, it usually has a good response to corticosteroid therapy, although if it is diagnosed late, the lung involvement can be extensive, and furthermore, if the antigenic stimulus persists, the response to treatment will be incomplete. We present the clinical case of a 65-year-old patient who had intracapsular rupture of her breast implants approximately 18 months ago, 27 years after their placement. With the same evolution time, she progressively developed dyspnea, dry cough and under mammary pain, having reached the diagnosis of diffuse bilateral organizing pneumonia, associated with implant rupture.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective Infection and exposure of the implant are some of the most common and concerning complications after implant-based breast reconstruction. Currently, there is no consensus on the management of these complications. The aim of the present study was to review our cases and to present a clinical protocol. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of consecutive patients submitted to implant-based breast reconstruction between 2014 and 2016. All patients were managed according to a specific and structured protocol. Results Implant exposure occurred in 33 out of 277 (11.9%) implant-based reconstructions. Among these, two patients had history of radiotherapy and had their implant removed; Delayed reconstruction with a myocutaneous flap was performed in both cases. Signs of severe local infection were observed in 12 patients, and another 5 presented with extensive tissue necrosis, and they were all submitted to implant removal; of them, 8 underwent reconstruction with a tissue expander, and 2, with a myocutaneous flap. The remaining 14 patients had no signs of severe infection, previous irradiation or extensive tissue necrosis, and were submitted to primary suture as an attempt to salvage the implant. Of these, 8 cases (57.1%) managed to keep the Conclusion Our clinical protocol is based on three key points: history of radiotherapy, severe infection, and extensive tissue necrosis. It is a practical and potentially-reproducible method of managing one of the most common complications of implant-based breast reconstruction.


Resumo Objectivo Infecção e exposição da prótese são algumas das complicações mais comuns e preocupantes após reconstrução da mama com implantes. Atualmente, ainda não há consenso quanto ao manejo destas complicações. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de revisar os casos da nossa instituição e apresentar um protocolo clínico. Métodos Realizou-se uma revisão retrospectiva de todos os casos consecutivos submetidos a reconstrução mamária imediata com prótese entre 2014 e 2016. Todos os casos foram conduzidos de acordo com um protocolo específico e estruturado. Resultados A exposição do implante ocorreu em 33 de 227 reconstruções (11,9%). Dentre estas, duas pacientes tinham histórico de radioterapia, e foram submetidas a remoção da prótese e posterior reconstrução com retalho miocutâneo. Sinais de infecção local grave foram observados em 12 pacientes, e, em 5, necrose extensa de tecido, e todas foram submetidas a remoção dos implantes; destas, 8 foram recons truídas com expansor, e 2, com retalho miocutâneo. As 14 pacientes remanecentes não haviam sido submetidas previamente à radioterapia, não tinham sinais de infecção, nem necrose extensa; portanto, foram submetidas a sutura primária em uma tentativa de salvar a prótese. Dessas, 8 pacientes (57,1%) conseguiram manter os implantes originais. Conclusão Nosso protocolo clínico é baseado em três pontos principais: histórico de radioterapia, infecção grave, e necrose extensa de tecido. Ele constitui um método prático e potencialmente reprodutível de manejo de uma das complicações mais comuns da reconstrução mamária com implantes.

ABSTRACT

Resumen En los últimos años, han aparecido evidencias que relacionan a un tipo de linfoma mamario con los implantes de silicona, lo que ha causado gran conmoción a nivel mundial. Este linfoma anaplástico de células grandes no Hodgkin (células T monoclonales), se ha visto asociado en mayoría de los casos, a las prótesis mamarias texturizadas. Es relativamente raro, ya que se puede presentar en 1 de cada 2.832 operados (as) y se puede manifestar como un seroma periprotésico o como una tumoración de la cápsula cicatrizal mamaria con o sin compromiso de la glándula y de los tejidos adyacentes.


In recent years, evidence has appeared linking a type of breast lymphoma with silicone implants, which has caused great commotion worldwide. This anaplastic large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (monoclonal T cells) has been associated in most cases with textured breast implants. It is relatively rare, since it can occur in 1 in 2832 operated on and it can manifest as a periprosthetic seroma or as a tumor of the mammary scar capsule with or without involvement of the gland and adjacent tissues.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate capsules formed by microtextured silicone implants with and without Parietex® mesh coverage histologically. Methods Sixty Wistar rats were divided in two groups (meshed and unmeshed). Each group was, then, divided into two subgroups for evaluation at 30 and 90 days. Capsules were analyzed based on hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and picrosirius staining. Results The number of fibroblasts, neutrophils and macrophages was similar among all subgroups. There was a higher lymphocyte reaction in the 30-day meshed group (p = 0.003). Giant cell reaction, granulation tissue and neoangiogenesis were similar among the subgroups. Synovial metaplasia was milder at 90-day in the unmeshed (p = 0.002) and meshed group (p < 0.001). Capsular thickness was significantly greater in the meshed samples (30-day p < 0.001 and 90-day p < 0.001). There was a similar amount of collagen types I and III in both groups. Conclusions The mesh-covered implants produced capsules similar to the microtextured ones when analyzing inflammatory variables. Synovial metaplasia was milder at 90 than at 30 days, and the capsular thickness was significantly greater in the meshed group. A similar amount of collagen types I and III was observed. Due to these characteristics, the mesh coverage did not seem to significantly affect the local inflammatory activity.

ABSTRACT

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma, recently defined in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lymphoid neoplasms. It occurs more commonly when textured implants are used and appears clinically as a late seroma. Cytologically, these lesions are composed of large atypical cells with pleomorphic nucleus and an immunophenotype positive for T cell markers and CD30, and negative for ALK1. We report a 56-years-old woman with breast implants who developed a periprosthetic seroma three years after surgery. A fine needle aspiration of the lesion was carried out. Cytology and the immunocytochemical study revealed cells compatible with BIA-ALCL. The flow cytometric study was negative. Excisional biopsy of the capsule was performed, observing that the neoplastic cells were confined to the inner surface of the capsule. Imaging studies did not find evidence of disseminated disease. The present case demonstrates the importance of the study of any late periprosthetic effusion, which can be performed using fine needle aspiration.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose To evaluate whether silicone foam implants have a different evolution pattern compared to conventional texture implants. Methods Fifty-eight female patients underwent surgery. They were divided into two groups (silicone foam - Lifesil® - and microtexturized silicone - Lifesil®). The evolution was analyzed in postoperative consultations, with physical examination, photographic documentation and filling in a satisfaction questionnaire, in the postoperative period of one month, four months, one year and then annually, up to a maximum of 3 years of follow-up. Results There were no statistically significant differences in presence of rippling, stretch marks, breast ptosis, capsular contracture and quality of scars. There was a higher rate of patients who were very satisfied with the outcome 360 days after surgery in the group receiving silicone foam implants (p = 0.036). Conclusion In short time, silicone foam envelope implants proved to be as reliable as textured silicone envelope implants, making them an option for augmentation mammoplasty.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Ao longo dos últimos anos os benefícios das reconstruções imediatas se tornaram cada vez mais documentados na literatura e, hoje, o predomínio é pelas reconstruções imediatas. Nos últimos anos, o número de reconstruções com expansores e próteses tem aumentado. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo entre 2013 e 2014. Foram incluídas as pacientes submetidas à mastectomia, seguida de reconstrução de mama, e assim separadas em dois grupos: 1 - submetida a reconstrução direta com prótese e 2 - expansor. Diversos dados foram avaliados. Resultados: Foram realizadas 138 reconstruções assim divididos: 57 com prótese e 81 com expansor-prótese. As complicações pós-operatórias não mostraram diferença entre os grupos. Radioterapia não teve influência nas complicações. Pacientes que fizeram reconstrução com prótese realizaram menos cirurgias (1,78 vs 2,54) e menos retornos pós-operatórios (8 vs 11,75). Conclusão: As reconstruções imediatas com prótese ou expansor apresentam baixas e semelhantes taxas de complicações pós-operatórias. Pacientes submetidas às reconstruções com prótese tiveram menor taxa de retorno e número de cirurgias para finalizar a reconstrução.


Introduction: The benefits of immediate reconstruction have been increasingly documented in the literature over the past few years. Today, with some exceptions, immediate reconstruction is the preferred surgical choice for breast cancer patients. In the recent years, the number of reconstructions using expanders and implants has increased. Methods: This retrospective study conducted between 2013 and 2014 included patients undergoing mastectomy followed by breast reconstruction, who were divided into direct implant reconstruction and expander treatment groups. Several variables were evaluated. Results: A total of 138 reconstructions (57 implants and 81 expander-implant) were performed. There were no intergroup differences in postoperative complications. Radiotherapy did not influence complications. Implant reconstruction patients underwent fewer surgeries (1.78 vs 2.54) and had fewer postoperative returns (8 vs 11.75). Conclusion: Immediate implant and expander-implant reconstruction approaches present low and similar postoperative complication rates. Patients undergoing implant reconstruction had a lower return rate and underwent fewer surgeries than those undergoing expander-implant reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A cirurgia de mama, especialmente as associadas aos implantes de silicone, teve uma crescente popularização, tornando-se a cirurgia plástica mais realizada no mundo. Junto com esta proliferação, observa-se um aumento da preocupação com a segurança dos implantes mamários de silicone, pelas intercorrências relacionadas. Objetivo: Revisar métodos existentes para minimizar as complicações relacionadas com implante mamário de silicone, bem como as tecnologias existentes e tendências tecnológicas para implantes mamários de silicone. Métodos: Foi realizada revisão de artigos científicos relacionados com novas tecnologias e tendências para redução das complicações relacionadas com implantes mamários de silicone, bem como as patentes e fabricantes de implante de silicone mamário. Resultados: Identificamos inicialmente 78 referências, sendo reduzido para 40 para publicação, todos com linhas de pesquisas que buscam melhores resultados e redução das complicações relacionadas com implantes de silicone, seja esta cirurgia com objetivo estético ou reconstrutivo. Conclusão: A busca por um implante mamário que reduza as possíveis e frequentes complicações, principalmente a formação do biofilme, processos infecciosos e resposta imune, é o foco da maioria das pesquisas encontradas. Com o mesmo objetivo, porém surgindo mais recentemente como alternativas, existem as pesquisas para o uso de matriz dérmica acelular e a lipoenxertia, com boas expectativas.


Introduction: Breast surgery with silicone implants is gaining popularity and has become the most performed plastic surgery worldwide. However, there is increasing concern about the safety of silicone breast implants due to associated complications. Objective: To review existing technologies, technological trends, and existing methods to minimize complications related to silicone breast implants. Methods: We conducted a literature review of articles describing new technologies and trends to reduce complications related to silicone breast implants, along with information on patents and manufacturers of silicone breast implants. Results: We initially identified 78 articles, out of which 40 were shortlisted for publication . All articles had a common aim of obtaining better results and reducing complications related to silicone implants, either in aesthetic or reconstructive surgeries. Conclusion: The search for a breast implant that reduces possible and frequent complications, especially biofilm formation, infectious processes, and abnormal immune response, was the focus of most articles studied. Acellular dermal matrix and fat grafting have been reported in the literature as promising alternatives.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: No biênio 2016-2017 foram estimados pelo Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA) aproximadamente 2.160 casos novos de câncer para o estado do Ceará e 57.960 casos novos para cada 100.000 mulheres no Brasil. A reconstrução mamária com implante de material aloplástico apresenta complicações cirúrgicas precoces e tardias que são direta ou indiretamente relacionadas à técnica cirúrgica utilizada para a realização da mastectomia e a implantação do material sintético. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as complicações encontradas em um grupo de pacientes submetidas à reconstrução mamária imediata com uso de prótese cônica e não cônica. Métodos: Corresponde a um estudo de coorte transversal, retrospectivo, observacional com análise de prontuário de pacientes que foram submetidos à mastectomia total poupadora de pele com reconstrução imediata da mama com o uso de prótese cônica e não cônica, no período de janeiro de 2016 a janeiro de 2018, realizada pelo Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Microcirurgia Reconstrutiva do HUWC da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Resultados: As complicações ocorreram em 13 (54,1%). A prótese que apresentou o maior número de complicações foi a de formato cônico, com complicações em 7 (63,6%) pacientes, enquanto somente 6 (46,1%) pacientes com prótese de formato não cônica apresentaram complicações. Conclusão: O nosso estudo mostrou maior frequência de complicações com o uso de próteses cônicas em relação à não cônica devido principalmente à formação de uma área de sofrimento na ponta da prótese cônica que resultou em extrusão das mesmas.


Introduction: In the biennium 2016-2017, approximately 2,160 new cancer cases were identified by the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (Instituto Nacional do Câncer; INCA) for the state of Ceará and 57,960 new cases for every 100,000 women in Brazil. Breast reconstruction with alloplastic implants presents early and late surgical complications directly or indirectly related to the surgical technique used to perform mastectomy and implantation of the synthetic material. This study aimed to analyze the complications found in a group of patients submitted for immediate breast reconstruction using conical and non-conical prostheses. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective, observational cohort study that analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent skin-sparing total mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction using conical and non-conical prostheses, performed by the Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Service at the HUWC of the Federal University of Ceará from January 2016 to 2018. Results: A total of 13 (54.1%) patients presented with complications. The conical prostheses showed the highest number of complications, i.e., 7 (63.6%) patients, whereas only 6 (46.1%) patients with non-conical prostheses had complications. Conclusion: Our study showed a higher frequency of complications with the use of conical prostheses when compared to non-conical prostheses, mainly due to the formation of a sore area at the tip of the conical prosthesis that resulted in extrusion.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Mastopexia associada à inclusão de implante é uma situação desafiadora para o cirurgião plástico. O objetivo é descrever a colocação de implante submuscular com descolamento anatômico mais pexia firme do tecido glandular usando pontos de fixação do tecido mamário ao muscular e analisar os resultados estéticos das pacientes operadas. Método: Foram realizadas 23 mastopexias com implantes no período entre abril de 2015 e julho de 2017, pelo mesmo cirurgião, sendo as mamas das pacientes marcadas previamente, na posição sentada. Realizou-se incisão no sulco mamário e descolamento até o polo superior da mama no plano subfascial, fixação da glândula ao músculo peitoral maior com 9 a 12 pontos. A seguir, iniciou-se a dissecção do músculo peitoral maior através de sua origem costal e transição com os músculos reto abdominal e serrátil, liberando amplamente na porção inferior. Introduziu-se o implante e completou-se a mastopexia. Os tamanhos dos implantes variaram de 255ml a 355ml. Fotos das mamas de 12 pacientes foram avaliadas por dois cirurgiões plásticos e dois leigos, nos seguintes parâmetros: resultado estético, simetria das aréolas e grau de ptose mamária. As avaliações podiam ser Ruim, Razoável ou Bom. Resultados: A técnica cirúrgica mostrou-se reprodutível, apenas 1 caso de hematoma unilateral, nenhuma infecção, queixas de dor discretas. Apenas um caso foi considerado, por um único avaliador, como Razoável; as demais avaliações consideradas como Bom. Conclusão: O tratamento de ptoses mamárias com colocação de implante submuscular acrescido de pexia da glândula ao músculo peitoral é uma técnica reprodutível e com bons resultados estéticos.


Introduction: Mastopexy associated with implant placement is challenging for plastic surgeons. The objective is to describe the placement of a submuscular implant with anatomical detachment in combination with stable fixation of the breast tissue to the pectoralis muscle and analyze the aesthetic results. Method: Twenty-three mastopexy procedures with implants were performed from April 2015 to July 2017 by the same surgeon, and surgical markings were made in the breasts of the patients in a seated position. An incision was made in the inframammary fold, and the breast tissue was elevated to the upper pole in the subfascial plane and attached to the pectoralis major muscle using 9-12 stitches. Subsequently, the inferior margin of the pectoralis major muscle and the transition from the rectus abdominis muscle to the serratus muscle were dissected to expose the muscle. The implant was introduced and mastopexy was completed. Implant size ranged from 255 mL to 355 mL. Photographs of the breasts of 12 patients were evaluated by two plastic surgeons and two non-medical subjects, who considered the aesthetic results, symmetry of the nipple-areola complex, and degree of breast ptosis. The results were scored as unsatisfactory, satisfactory, or good. Results: The surgical technique was reproducible; there was only one case of unilateral hematoma, no implant infections, and only complaints of mild pain. Only one case was scored as satisfactory by one evaluator, whereas the results of the other cases were considered good. Conclusion: The treatment of breast ptosis with the placement of a submuscular implant in combination with fixation of the breast to the pectoralis major muscle is reproducible and yields good aesthetic results.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A inclusão de implante mamário combinada com pexia é uma cirurgia desafiadora, não somente pela ausência de procedimento padrão, mas por se mostrar uma cirurgia com elevado potencial de complicações, entre elas, alto índice de revisões pós-cirúrgicas. Neste trabalho é descrita a utilização da técnica em "D" espelhado originalmente usada para mastopexia primária e inclusão de implantes de silicone em mamas hipoplásicas associadas à ptose moderada a grave, agora se estendendo o uso para o tratamento de recidiva de ptoses com deslocamento das próteses com ou sem contratura capsular e/ou cicatrizes inestéticas. Método: O procedimento descrito, realizado em 90 pacientes, faz uso de marcação própria que determina ressecção em bloco de pele e parênquima subjacente para simetrização, retalho de pedículo medial, troca dos implantes originais para próteses de silicone texturizada, perfil alto, redonda, volumes iguais bilateralmente, posicionadas em plano submuscular, resultando em uma cicatriz final vertical. Resultados: Pelos dados obtidos não foi necessária revisão cirúrgica em nenhum dos casos. Não houve ocorrência de infecção pós-cirúrgica ou necrose da placa areolopapilar, bem como da cicatriz. A ressecção média do parênquima foi de 80g. Oitenta e nove pacientes (98,8%) foram submetidas à ressecção de diferentes tamanhos. O volume médio das próteses incluídas foi de 300ml. O comprimento da cicatriz vertical se mostrou estável em média de 6,5cm após 2 anos. Os resultados foram considerados satisfatórios pela avaliação feita pelos pacientes. Conclusão: A mastopexia secundária mostrou-se uma cirurgia de maior complexidade devido à atrofia severa dos tecidos, resultado da cirurgia prévia. Seus benefícios incluem maior simetrização, cicatrizes mais finas com diminuição da tensão da placa areolopapilar, resultados duradouros e alto grau de satisfação das pacientes.


Introduction: Breast implantation combined with mastopexy is challenging, not only because a standard procedure is lacking, but also because of the high potential for complications, including a high rate of post-surgical revision. Originally intended for primary mastopexy and inclusion of silicone implants in hypoplastic breasts with moderate to severe ptosis, the use of the mirror "D" technique is now extended to treatment of ptosis recurrence with displacement of prostheses, with or without capsular contracture and/or unsightly scars. Method: The procedure described was performed in 90 patients, using specific marking to determine block resection of skin and underlying parenchyma for symmetrization. The procedure included use of a medial pedicle flap and exchange of original implants for textured, high-profile, round silicone prostheses with equal volumes bilaterally and positioned in the submuscular plane, resulting in a final vertical scar. Results: No surgical revision was required in any of the cases. There was no occurrence of postoperative infection or necrosis of the nipple-areola complex or scar. The average parenchyma resection was 80 g. Eighty-nine patients (98.8%) were submitted to resection of different volumes. The average prosthesis volume was 300 mL. The length of the vertical scar was stable with an average of 6.5 cm after 2 years. The results were considered satisfactory according to patient assessment. Conclusion: Secondary mastopexy is a more complex surgery due to severe atrophy of the tissue as a result of previous surgery. Its benefits include improved symmetrization, thinner scars and reduction in tension on the nipple-areola complex, long-lasting results, and a high degree of patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Este trabalho descreve e apresenta os resultados de uma técnica alternativa para tratamento da esteatonecrose, a lipoaspiração com cânula específica, com bons resultados observados no exame físico e de imagem. A esteatonecrose é uma complicação que ocorre com alguma frequência nas cirurgias mamárias, principalmente nas reconstruções mamárias, nas cirurgias conservadoras ou TRAM, caracterizando-se, inicialmente, por endurecimento de uma região, que evolui para uma nodulação de tamanhos variados, em qualquer região mamária, com cistos oleosos e fibrose, que traduz uma preocupação constante por parte das pacientes, do oncologista, do mastologista e do cirurgião plástico devido à ocorrência de recidiva tumoral. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão retrospectiva dos prontuários das pacientes submetidas a procedimentos nas mamas, seja reconstrução ou estética, e evoluíram com esteatonecrose, sendo submetidas ao tratamento com lipoaspiração, inspirada na técnica de perfuração óssea para tratamento de necrose óssea, realizado por ortopedistas. Resultados: No período englobado, 8 pacientes foram selecionadas. A idade média foi de 56 anos. Grande parte possuía alguma deformidade na mama acometida, sendo o cisto oleoso o mais comum - 5 pacientes (62,5%). 75% possuíam história de neoplasia mamária. Conclusão: A individualização do paciente é a chave para o sucesso do tratamento da esteatonecrose e uma ferramenta essencial para atender às expectativas e anseios da paciente após essa complicação. Cada técnica tem suas indicações, vantagens e limitações, que devem ser amplamente discutidas com o paciente visando o melhor resultado possível.


Introduction: This work describes and presents the results of an alternative technique for treating steatonecrosis by liposuction using a specific cannula, with good physical and imaging results. Steatonecrosis is a complication that frequently occurs during mammary surgeries, especially during mammary reconstructions and in conservative surgery or TRAM. Steatonecrosis is characterized initially by hardening of the tissue that may develop into nodules of different sizes in any mammary region with oily cysts and fibrosis; consequently, steatonecrosis is a constant concern for patients, oncologists, breast cancer specialists, and plastic surgeons due to the possibility of tumor recurrence. Method: A retrospective review of the medical records of the patients undergoing procedures related to the breast, either reconstructive or aesthetic, was performed. Patients who developed steatonecrosis and were treated by liposuction, similar to the bone drilling technique performed by orthopedic surgeons for the treatment of bone necrosis, were included in the study. Results: Eight patients from the study period reviewed were selected. The mean age was 56 years. Most of the patients showed deformity in the affected breast, with oily cysts, reported in 5 patients (62.5%), being the most common deformity. Breast cancer history was reported for 75% of the patients. Conclusion: The individualization of the patient is the key to successful treatment of steatonecrosis and an essential tool to satisfy the expectations and desires of the patient after this complication. Each technique has its indications, advantages and limitations, which should be thoroughly discussed with the patient to obtain the best possible result.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As mastectomias com reconstruções mamárias imediatas podem proteger a paciente de um período de estresse psicossocial, imagem corporal negativa e insatisfação sexual. O advento e utilização de novos materiais como os implantes, expansores e matrizes dérmicas acelulares também contribuíram para o sucesso das reconstruções mamárias. Porém, o uso das matrizes dérmicas acelulares é restrito no Brasil pela legislação e seu alto custo. O objetivo do estudo foi relatar a experiência do autor na reconstrução mamária com implantes e tela sintética como uma alternativa às matrizes dérmicas acelulares. Método: Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva de 12 pacientes consecutivas (20 mamas reconstruídas) que foram submetidas à reconstrução mamária imediata ou tardia pela técnica descrita com implantes e tela sintética, entre novembro de 2015 e dezembro de 2016. Resultados: Doze pacientes (20 mamas) foram operadas pela técnica apresentada no estudo. O tempo médio de follow-up foi de 14 meses. Nesta série, 15% apresentaram complicações menores como hematoma, deiscência de sutura e rippling. O número de complicações, apesar do número restrito de casos, é compatível com a literatura. O grau de satisfação global com a cirurgia foi, em média, de 75,2 pontos em uma escala de 0-100, sendo a nota mais alta atribuída à aparência das mamas (85 pontos). Conclusão: A reconstrução mamária com implantes e tela sintética se mostrou uma técnica com baixo índice de complicações, alto grau de satisfação das pacientes com o resultado estético e com menores custos em relação ao uso de matrizes dérmicas acelulares.


Introduction: Mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction may prevent patients from experiencing a period of psychosocial stress, negative body image, and sexual dissatisfaction. The advent and implementation of novel materials such as implants, expanders, and acellular dermal matrices have also contributed to the success of breast reconstruction procedures. However, the use of acellular dermal matrices in Brazil is restricted by law and by their high cost. The objective of the present study was to report the author's experience in breast reconstruction with implants and synthetic mesh as an alternative to acellular dermal matrices. Method: This was a retrospective analysis of 12 consecutive patients (20 reconstructed breasts) who underwent immediate or delayed breast reconstruction using the described technique with implants and synthetic mesh between November 2015 and December 2016. Results: Twelve patients (20 breasts) were operated on using the technique described in this report. The mean time of follow-up was 14 months. In this series, 15% of patients had minor complications, including hematoma, suture dehiscence, and rippling. The rate of complications was similar to the rates reported in the literature, despite the limited number of cases. The average degree of overall satisfaction with the surgery was 75.2 points on a scale of 0-100, and the highest score was given to breast appearance (85 points). Conclusion: Breast reconstruction with implants and synthetic mesh was shown to be a technique with a low rate of complications, high degree of patient satisfaction with the cosmetic result, and decreased cost relative to acellular dermal matrices.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A reconstrução imediata de mama realizada com o expansor de Becker é uma técnica de reconstrução versátil e consolidada na prática médica. Apresentamos uma proposta original com o uso do expansor de Becker associado a um segundo implante mamário. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo realizado no período de janeiro de 2014 a outubro de 2016 no Hospital A.C. Camargo. A análise dos prontuários das pacientes reconstruídas com Becker 35 avaliou o índice e tipo de complicações e a associação de rádio e quimioterapia e comorbidades das pacientes com 5 casos de associação de implantes. Resultados: 193 reconstruções com Becker em 168 pacientes. Vinte cinco casos com reconstrução bilateral. Idade média de 47 anos e 33% apresentaram comorbidades. Cento e dezenove (62%) pacientes seguiram radioterapia e quimioterapia pós-operatórias. Complicações: seroma em 7 pacientes, hematoma no retalho da mastectomia em 2 pacientes, necrose parcial do retalho da mastectomia em 3 pacientes, necrose/infecção com exposição do expansor em 2 pacientes. O total de complicações foi de 9,5%. Um total de 133 (69%) pacientes foram submetidas a esta segunda etapa cirúrgica para complementação da reconstrução da mama, sendo o expansor de Becker substituído por um implante definitivo. As pacientes com uso de Becker 35 associado a outro implante não apresentaram complicações. Conclusões: A associação do implante-expansor de Becker 35 a um segundo implante mamário foi eficaz em atingir um volume maior nas reconstruções mamárias com baixo índice de complicações.


Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction performed with the Becker expander is a versatile and accepted technique. We present an original proposal for the use of the Becker expander for a second breast implant. Methods: A retrospective study was performed between January 2014 and October 2016. Medical records were used to evaluate the indications and complications, the use of radio- and chemotherapy, and comorbidities in all patients, including 5 in whom combined implantation was performed. Results: The Becker expander was used for 193 reconstructions in 168 patients, including 25 cases with bilateral reconstructions. The average patient age was 47 years, and 33% had comorbidities. Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were performed in 119 patients (62%). Complications included seroma in 7 patients, hematoma in the mastectomy flap in 2 patients, partial necrosis of the mastectomy flap in 3 patients, and necrosis/infection with expander exposure in 2 patients. Complications occurred in 9.5% of the cases. A total of 133 (69%) patients underwent a second surgical stage to complement breast reconstruction, with the Becker expander being replaced by a definitive implant. Patients in whom the Becker 35 expander was used in a second breast implant developed no complications. Conclusions: the use of the Becker 35 expander for a second breast implant was effective in achieving greater volume in breast reconstruction with a low rate of complications.

ABSTRACT

La lactancia materna para la mujer es un periodo vital, el que es influido por diferentes factores, entre estos, está el antecedente de cirugía mamaria. El propósito de esta revisión es explorar, en la evidencia disponible, el impacto que tienen los implantes mamarios y la reducción mamaria en el amamantamiento. Esto, con el fin de apoyar el trabajo con las mujeres en el proceso de lactancia materna e informar previamente a las usuarias cómo estas cirugías podrían afectar su proceso. Con respecto a las características de la cirugía, hay diferencias en los efectos que puede tener en la producción de leche, según: el tipo de cirugía, tipo de abordaje y el sitio de incisión, que puede afectar a corto y largo plazo. Debido a que existe evidencia heterogénea con respecto al impacto de la cirugía mamaria en la lactancia materna, toma un rol importante considerar en la evaluación este antecedente en la mujer, para realizar un buen diagnóstico. Ante todo, es importante el apoyo y guía educativa, tanto prenatal como en el puerperio, para empoderar a las mujeres en la toma de decisiones y el manejo de su lactancia materna, previo a la cirugía y durante el proceso de lactancia materna. Para lograr esto se necesita personal de salud capacitado, que pueda intervenir en esta realidad, informado, con la mejor evidencia disponible.


Breastfeeding is a vital period for women and it's influenced by different factors such as breast surgery. The purpose of this review is to explore available evidence on the impact that some breast surgeries (breast implants or breast reduction) have on breastfeeding. This is to support the breastfeeding process in this women, and also to inform them how these surgeries could affect on their breastfeeding process. There are several factors related to surgery that can influence on the breastfeeding process, such as the type of approach, the incision siteand, in the case of the implant, where it is located, which may affect short or long term. Because there are not enough studies, and there is also heterogeneous evidence regarding the impact of breast surgery on breastfeeding, it is important the educational support be given both prior to surgery and during the pre and postnatal phases. To achieve this the trained health professionals need to be informed and with the best evidence available related to the breastfeeding process.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O câncer de mama é o tipo mais comum entre as mulheres (excetuando-se os de pele não melanoma) e nos últimos anos seu tratamento evoluiu muito com as mastectomias preservadoras de pele. As mamas com ptose grau II e III são de difícil abordagem e necessitam da redução estética do envelope cutâneo após o procedimento de adenomastectomia. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de janeiro de 2013 a janeiro de 2016 em que foram incluídas todas as pacientes submetidas à adenomastectomia e reconstruídas imediatamente através de redução do envelope cutâneo com a técnica de marcação de Pitanguy associada ao emprego de prótese ou expansor no plano submuscular superiormente e abaixo do retalho dermicogorduroso inferiormente. Resultados: Um total de 15 pacientes foram operadas pela técnica proposta, contabilizando um total de 25 mamas (10 casos foram bilaterais). Doze pacientes apresentavam câncer, duas realizaram cirurgia profilática e uma apresentava fibroadenoma gigante juvenil. Em dois casos foi utilizado expansor e em 23 mamas foi colocada a prótese definitiva em um único tempo cirúrgico. Em três mamas o complexo aerolopapilar (CAP) foi ressecado por motivos oncológicos; dos 22 preservados, em 15 foi realizado enxerto e em 7 ascensão através de retalho de pedículo superior. Houve 5 casos de complicação (20%), sendo 3 seromas (12%), 1 necrose na junção do 'T' (4%), e 1 necrose total do CAP (4%). Conclusão: A técnica descrita fornece um método eficaz e reproduzível de reconstrução mamária imediata com prótese em um tempo único em pacientes com mamas volumosas. Contudo, deve-se selecionar bem os pacientes, pois não se pode negligenciar os riscos de complicações.


Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of neoplasm among women (except for non-melanoma skin cancers), and in the past few years, its treatment greatly evolved with skin-sparing mastectomies. Breasts with grades II and III ptosis are difficult to approach and require an aesthetic reduction of the cutaneous envelope after adenomastectomy. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2013 to January 2016. This included all patients undergoing adenomastectomy and immediate reconstruction via reduction of the cutaneous envelope using Pitanguy's marking technique associated with the use of a prosthesis or expander above the submuscular plane and below the dermal fat flap. Results: A total of 15 patients were operated on based on the proposed technique, accounting for a total of 25 breasts (10 cases were bilateral). Twelve patients had cancer; two underwent prophylactic surgery; and one developed juvenile giant fibroadenoma. In two cases, an expander was used, and in 23 breasts, a definitive prosthesis was placed in a single surgical period. In three breasts, the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) was resected for oncological reasons; of the 22 preserved, 15 underwent grafting, and seven underwent elevation through the superior pedicle flap. There were five complications (20%): three seromas (12%), one necrosis at the "T" junction (4%), and one total NAC necrosis (4%). Conclusion: The technique described is an effective and reproducible method of immediate breast reconstruction using implants in a single period in patients with large breasts. However, the right patients should be selected because the risks of complications cannot be neglected.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O câncer de mama tem se tornado cada vez mais prevalente e com isso maior é o número de pacientes submetidas a mastectomias. A reconstrução imediata pósmastectomia é uma alternativa importante de tratamento nas diversas etapas da reconstrução mamária. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de 34 pacientes submetidas à mastectomia ou adenomastectomia, com ou sem preservação do complexo aréolo-papilar seguida de reconstrução imediata com uso de expansor permanente. O expansor utilizado foi do tipo Becker 35, de formato anatômico, com volume variando de 365 ml a 565 ml, sendo mais utilizado o de 460 ml. Resultados: O resultado foi considerado muito satisfatório por 85% das pacientes, a taxa de complicações foi de 17,6%, sendo que duas pacientes apresentaram necrose de pele nos bordos da ferida operatória, duas pacientes apresentaram retração cicatricial na ferida operatória, uma paciente apresentou seroma e somente uma paciente teve perda do expansor por infecção tardia após início da quimioterapia. Treze pacientes realizaram radioterapia, 53% (n = 7) apresentaram radiodermite leve e 30% (n = 4) radiodermite moderada, sem outras complicações. Conclusão: A reconstrução imediata com o uso de expansores definitivos apresenta uma boa proposta de tratamento às pacientes que serão submetidas a mastectomias totais ou parciais.


Introduction: Breast cancer has become increasingly prevalent, resulting in a greater number of patients undergoing mastectomies. Post-mastectomy immediate reconstruction is an important alternative treatment in the various stages of breast reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 34 patients who underwent mastectomy or adenomastectomy, with or without preservation of the areolapapillary complex, followed by immediate reconstruction using a permanent expander. The expander used was of the Becker type 35 and anatomically shaped, having a volume ranging from 365 to 565 ml, with the 460-ml expander being the most frequently used. Results: The results were considered "highly satisfactory" by 85% of the patients. The complication rate was 17.6%; two patients had skin necrosis on the edges of the surgical wound, two patients presented scar retraction in the surgical wound, one patient presented seroma, and only one patient had expander loss because of late infection after the start of chemotherapy. Thirteen patients underwent radiotherapy, of whom 53% (n = 7) had mild radiodermatitis and 30% (n = 4) had moderate radiodermatitis without other complications. Conclusion: Immediate reconstruction using definitive expanders presents a good treatment option for patients who will undergo total or partial mastectomy.
