Abstract:

This paper introduces a project involving a thermoregulation performance experiment design to evaluate the different responses of research subjects to a range of mastectomy bras and external breast prostheses. A set of newly designed heat-reduction mastectomy bras and prostheses were mix-matched with a set of conventional mastectomy bras and prostheses for the experiment. Four combinations of mastectomy bras and external breast prostheses were used: (a) Com A: conventional mastectomy bra and conventional prosthesis; (b) Com B: conventional mastectomy bra and heat-reduction prosthesis; (c) Com C: heat-reduction mastectomy bra and conventional prosthesis; and (d) Com D: heat-reduction mastectomy bra and heat-reduction prosthesis. Nine healthy male subjects (mean age: 31.9 ± 5.9 y and mean under-bust circumference: 35.3 ± 2.8 in) participated in this study in lieu of women who had undergone surgery for double mastectomy and were too self-conscious to expose their scars for sensor attachment. Eight sets of temperature and humidity sensors were placed between the surface of the skin and the prostheses and bra to measure the changes in both temperature and humidity data in a microclimate environment while the participants performed physical activity. The results showed that Com D demonstrated better thermal and moisture control, resulting in lower body temperature and lower humidity increment throughout the entire experiment. The study proved that the heat-reduction mastectomy bra and external breast prosthesis were effective in releasing the trapped heat and perspiration underneath the bra, and thus would provide a positive impact on clothing comfort and wearing experience for women who had undergone mastectomies.

Abstract:

As the public discussion of all cancers, and of breast cancer in particular, expanded after World War II, capitalist ventures emerged to meet the demands of those affected by the disease. For women who had mastectomies this meant a greater choice of breast prostheses but also a clearer message that the scars from surgery should be hidden from public view. This work analyzes the breast prosthesis industry as a beauty business. Considering the use of breast prostheses as a contested part of cancer recovery, the article traces the evolution and expansion of the breast prosthesis industry from 1945 to 2000 and examines how the industry has responded to consumer demand, created a niche for itself within the “healing process,“ and capitalized on notions of feminine beauty.

Abstract:

Introduction. Recent papers indicate that one-side mastectomy can produce deleterious effects on the posture and musculoskeletal system. This study was conducted to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in trunk motion in external prosthesis users.Objective. The aim was to evaluate the changes in surface electromyographic (SEMG) activity of the erector spinae muscles (ES) in postmastectomy women with and without breast prostheses during functional body movement tests.Methods. In 51 one-side postmastectomy women the SEMG muscle activity of bilateral ES was measured during symmetrical and asymmetrical dynamic activities in a counterbalanced manner with different weights of the breast prosthesis. Range-of-motion measurements were taken for forward bending, backward bending, lateral bending, and rotation.Results. The mean level of the ES activity in the lumbar region was not affected by the weight of the external breast prosthesis during most of the functional body tests (P>0.05). The activity of ES during functional body tests with and without different external breast prostheses did not differ between the two sides of the trunk (mastectomy and nonmastectomy) for most of the movement tests (P>0.05).Conclusion. The lumbar ES activity during functional tests is not associated with the weight of the external breast prosthesis in postmastectomy women.

Abstract:

Based on clinical experience and various studies, it has been found that breast prostheses present failures that are related to a radiotherapy treatment. However, there are currently few studies that analyze the impact of radiotherapy on the material of the prosthesis. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to characterize the material of silicone breast implants with high cohesiveness. In order to carry out the research a characterization based on mechanical tests, rheology, and spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy. This was done with the objective of identifying changes in the prosthesis before and after being irradiated with high energy x-ray photons. To perform the study, 4 breast implants were used. These implants were subjected to the aforementioned tests. The researcher repeated the observation in the second and the third month. Finally, when comparing the results, the mechanical changes are shown in the coating. In the internal material small changes were generated in the elastic and viscous modules. To conclude, effective changes were observed after radiotherapy treatment in the prosthetic material.

Abstract:

Resection of sternal tumors can leave large defects, which exposes major mediastinal structures, and can affect respiratory mechanics. If feasible, resection is potentially a complex reconstructive challenge to restore normal and functional anatomy using conventional techniques. We report the first Australian use of a three-dimensional–printed titanium and PoreStar prosthesis in a 39-year-old woman for reconstruction after major surgical resection of the sternum for metastatic breast cancer. The patient successfully underwent excision of the sternum and costal cartilages as well as implantation of the prosthesis. We conclude that three-dimensional–printed prostheses are technically feasible to deliver excellent cosmetic result.

Abstract:

Coagulase-negative Staphylococci have been implicated in late onset infection of breast prosthetic biomaterials used for augmentation and reconstruction. These prosthesis consist of either gel- or saline-filled smooth silicone rubber or textured polyurethane foam. The morphology of adhesion of staphylococci to the prosthesis is important in understanding their potential role in latent infection. Staphylococcus epidermidis rp62, a polysaccaride mucin producing strain, and Staphylococcus aureus strain 25923 are test organisms. A variety of fixative procedures employing en bloc reagents are compared in both SEM and TEM. Ruthenium red and alcian blue , uranyl acetate and ruthenium red with lysine have been used to preserve extracellular capsular/slime material in several bacterial species.Specimens of prosthetic material are incubated with cells for 18 hrs at 35°C in tryptic soy broth. For SEM, specimens are fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde (GA) for 2 hrs and post-fixed in 1% OsO4 for 2.5 hrs. This is followed by a graded ethanol series, critical point drying with CO2 and coating with gold/palladium.

Abstract:

Introduction Metal detectors have been present in airports and points of departure for some time. With the introduction of heightened security measures in response to fears of an increased threat of terrorism, they may become more prevalent in other public locations. The aim of this study was to ascertain which prosthetic devices activated metal detector devices used for security purposes. Methods A range of prosthetic devices used commonly in orthopaedic and plastic surgery procedures were passed through an arch metal detector at Birmingham Airport in the UK. Additionally, each item was passed under a wand detector. Items tested included expandable breast prostheses, plates used in wrist and hand surgery, screws, K-wires, Autosuture™ ligation clips and staples. Results No prostheses were detected by the arch detector. The expandable implants and wrist plates were the only devices detected by passing the wand directly over them. No device was detected by the wand when it was under cover of the axillary soft tissue. Screws, K-wires, Autosuture™ clips and staples were not detected under any of the study conditions. Conclusions Although unlikely to trigger a detector, it is possible that an expandable breast prosthesis or larger plate may do so. It is therefore best to warn patients of this so they can anticipate detection and further examination.

Abstract:

Introduction: The silicone breast implant controversy and the moratorium on the use of silicone-gel-filled breast implants in the U.S., Canada, and France has led to a search for substitutes for silicone-gel implants that are safe, pliable, and still firm enough to hold its shape. Hydrogel is being evaluated as an alternative to silicone gel for filling breast implants. Materials and Methods: Eighteen hundred ninety hydrogel-filled breast implants were inserted into patients in France and Italy between 1992 and 1993. The postoperative results of these procedures were reviewed. Results: Twelve implant ruptures occurred at the time of insertion secondary to too small an incision and lack of prewarming of the implant. Two ruptures went unnoticed and were satisfactorily resolved with a revision of the first procedure. One capsule contracture occurred within one year. Visual results according to patients and surgeons were satisfactory. The palpable results are less favorable than silicone-gel implants, but better than saline-filled implants. Discussion: Hydrogel is biocompatible. The breakdown products of the implant filler, if they migrate outside the shell, should not be toxic. Because hydrogel is a biomaterial filler to which water is added to reach an equilibrium point, it mimics the consistency of living tissue. Conclusions: Hydrogel appears to be a favorable substitute for silicone gel.

Abstract:

Abstract Synovial metaplasia is a change seen most frequently in the tissues surrounding silicone breast prostheses and in healing tissue adjacent to joint prostheses. It has also been described in skin and soft tissues, most frequently in healing or healed traumatic or surgical wounds. We report a case of synovial metaplasia occurring in a hitherto unreported location, namely, adjacent to a silicone low-pressure voice prosthesis. A review of cases of synovial metaplasia reported in the literature revealed that in most cases, spaces that form adjacent to foreign material (most commonly silicone breast prostheses) and the smooth gliding surfaces of the foreign material that resist penetration by fibroblast processes are frequent associated findings that precede the occurrence of synovial metaplasia. Thus, synovial metaplasia might represent a specialized form of healing in cases that have this combination of physical features.

Abstract:

Hypotrophic breasts associated with ptosis is a frequent condition. The simple insertion of a prosthesis generally does not give very satisfactory results. The breast swings on the prosthesis, aggravating the ptosis in the long term. Furthermore, hypotrophy is often associated with malposition of the areola: either excessively short areolo-infra-mammary distance, less than 5 cm, or areola projected too medially or too laterally. The absence of correction of this malformation is a factor responsible for a poor aesthetic result.

Abstract:

Objective. To investigate the impact of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after standardized breast cancer (BC) surgery on the quality of life of patients. Methods. A total of 878 BC patients were included, who were diagnosed and treated in the breast surgery department between January 2016 and December 2018. The patient underwent immediate postoperative breast reconstruction surgery. Subsequently, safety, efficacy, and postoperative morphology were scored and evaluated for the comprehensive analysis of the clinical therapeutic effects. Results. With longer postoperative time, a lower proportion of the follow-up population experienced limb edema, capsular contracture, infection, calcifications around the prosthesis, prosthesis dislocation, delayed wound healing, chronic lymphadenopathy, pain, and prosthesis rupture, indicating a high safety. And the follow-up patients’ breast appearance and shape largely returned to normal at 12 months postoperatively. Additionally, patients with 3 and 6 months of follow-up had a higher quality of life and better aesthetic breast reconstruction outcomes compared to the perioperative period. Conclusion. The implementation of standardized IBR after breast cancer improves the quality of life of patients after surgery with fewer complications and a good safety profile.

Abstract:

A case of mass-forming breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) with onset a short time after explanation of the cosmetic prosthesis is reported. The cause of implant removal was carcinoma diagnosed in the ipsilateral breast. The rarity of an almost synchronous manifestation of BIA-ALCL and breast carcinoma and the diagnostic challenges of mass-forming BIA-ALCL in a previously operated breast substantiate this report. The clinical course, diagnostic workup and therapeutic considerations are presented and discussed in detail. This case shows that a diagnosis of BIA-ALCL must always be considered even without a prosthesis in place in patients with a long history of textured implants.

Abstract:

Although hydrogel is a promising prosthesis implantation material for breast reconstruction, there is no suitable hydrogel with proper mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Here, we report a series of compliant and tough poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA)-based hydrogels based on hydrogen bond-reinforcing interactions and phase separation inhibition by introducing maleic acid (MA) units. As a result, the tensile strength, fracture strain, tensile modulus, and toughness are up to 420 kPa, 293.4%, 770 kPa, and 0.86 MJ/m3, respectively. Moreover, the hydrogels possess good compliance, where the compression modulus is comparable to that of the silicone breast prosthesis (~23 kPa). Meanwhile, the hydrogels have an excellent self-recovery ability and fatigue resistance: the dissipative energy and elastic modulus recover almost completely after waiting for 2 min under cyclic compression, and the maximum strength remains essentially unchanged after 1000 cyclic compressions. More importantly, in vitro cellular experiments and in vivo animal experiments demonstrate that the hydrogels have good biocompatibility and stability. The biocompatible hydrogels with breast tissue-like mechanical properties hold great potential as an alternative implant material for reconstructing breasts.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Complications of breast augmentation, as one of the most common cosmetic surgery, may be different. Besides usual early, local postoperative complicatons, the most common late complication is capsular contracture. As a specific complication of skin functions after this operation only disturbance of sensibility is described. Since the skin has other functions as well, and because there are no literature data available, the aim of this research was measuring the skin temperature before and after surgery. Methods. A prospective intervential study was done in 49 adult women. Bilateral augmentative mammaplasty was performed for breast hypoplasia or on the personal request of a patient with autrophic breasts. Measuring the temperature of the breast skin was done in two points, before the operation, and seven days and three months after surgery. The temperature measurement was done by the infrared thermometer (Pyrometer TROTEC BP21). Statistically significant difference was determined using the t-test for related samples. Differences were considered statistically significant if p was less than 0.05. Eta squared coefficient was use to determine the import size and according to the Cohen criteria everything over 10:14 signified a major impact. The data were analyzed by the IBP SPSS Statistics v20. Results. In a majority of patients the breasts were hypoplastic (69.39%). The most commonly used implants were 275?500 mL volume (46.94%), and the least common implants were over 500 mL (16.33%). In a little less than 2/3 of the patients submammary incision was used (61.22%). In a majority of patients (67.35%) the prosthesis were placed subglandularly. The average value of the temperature before the operation at the point 1 was 34.49?C, seven days after surgery 34.81?C, and three months after surgery 34.10?C; and at the point 2: 34.60 ?C, 34.91?C and 34.19?C in the same time intervals. In relation to the size of the breasts before operation and the size of the implant manufacturer, the localization of the incision and placement of the localization of the prosthesis, no statistically significant differences in the temperature of the skin of the breast before and after surgery was observed. Conclusion. Our results on the change of skin temperature after the breast augmentation could be significant preoperative information for the patients.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe report a case involving a 45-year-old woman, who presented with an axillary mass 10 years after bilateral cosmetic augmentation mammaplasty. A lump was detected in the left axilla, and subsequent mammography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated intracapsular rupture of the left breast prosthesis. An excisional biopsy of the left axillary lesion and replacement of the ruptured implant was performed. Histological analysis showed that the axillary lump was lymph nodes containing large amounts of silicone. Silicone lymphadenopathy is an obscure complication of procedures involving the use of silicone. It is thought to occur following the transit of silicone droplets from breast implants to lymph nodes by macrophages and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients in whom silicone prostheses are present.

Abstract:

Background: Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was used as an injectable implant for augmentation mammoplasty for over 30 years, but its use was ceased due to various related complications. The only way to treat these complications is PAAG removal, but this causes breast ptosis, nipple retraction, breast asymmetry, and skin laxity. Objectives: This article reports a new technique for breast reshaping after PAAG removal without prosthesis implantation. Method: From January 2015 to June 2018, twenty-three patients underwent periareolar mammoplasty with the tissue folding technique (PMTFT) for breast reshaping after PAAG removal. Postoperative breast shape and the degree of satisfaction of the patients were evaluated during follow-up. Results: All patients recovered well without severe complications. All patients were satisfied with their postoperative breast shape and their symptoms were relieved after surgery. Conclusions: PMTFT provides satisfactory postoperative breast shape results. Economical, practical, and technical advantages were found over traditional prosthesis-mediated breast reconstruction. PMTFT can be an ideal surgical choice in appropriate cases.

Abstract:

Cosmetic surgery to insert silicone prosthesis may be indicated when the woman has very small breasts, is afraid of not being able to breastfeed, has noticed a reduction in their size or has lost a lot of weight. But it can also be indicated when a woman has breasts with different sizes or needed to remove the breast or part of the breast due to cancer. This surgery can be done from the age of 15 with parental permission, and is performed under general anesthesia, taking about 45 minutes, and can be with a short hospital stay of 1 or 2 days, or even in an outpatient setting, when he is discharged on the same day.
