RESUMO
In 2002, Steve Wilson pioneered new procedures for alternative placement of reservoirs for inflatable prostheses in patients who have suffered damage to the space of Retzius following pelvic surgery or obliteration of the transversalis fascia by mesh hernia repair. Since then, surgical techniques and tools for ectopic reservoir placement have gradually gained acceptance to minimize palpability, and the risk of visceral and vascular lesions for high risk patients has been all but eliminated. Lockout valves and high submuscular placement techniques are now recommended, and reports of vascular, bowel or bladder injuries are uncommonly rare. While surgeons continue their search for safer and more effective placement methods, new skills and instruments are constantly being introduced to make recommendations to minimize complications and provide safety and functionality. Additional studies and comparisons of techniques are needed to achieve a consensus of best practice for reservoir placement solutions. (AU)
En 2002, Steve Wilson fue el precursor de nuevos procedimientos para la colocación alternativa de reservorios para prótesis inflables en los pacientes que habían sufrido daños en el espacio de Retzius tras cirugía pélvica u obliteración de la fascia transversalis por reparación de hernia con malla. Desde entonces, han ido ganando aceptación las técnicas y herramientas quirúrgicas para colocación de reservorio ectópico, a fin de minimizar la palpabilidad, habiéndose eliminado prácticamente el riesgo de lesiones viscerales y vasculares para pacientes de alto riesgo. Hoy en día se recomiendan las válvulas de bloqueo y las técnicas de colocación submuscular alta, siendo excepcionalmente raros los informes sobre lesiones a nivel vascular, intestinal o en la vejiga. A pesar de que los cirujanos siguen investigando en busca de métodos de colocación más seguros y efectivos, se están introduciendo constantemente nuevas competencias e instrumentos en aras de realizar recomendaciones para minimizar las complicaciones y aportar seguridad y funcionalidad. Son necesarios más estudios y comparaciones sobre técnicas para lograr un consenso acerca de la mejor práctica sobre soluciones de colocación de reservorios. (AU)
