Background: Implant-based breast reconstruction is a popular option after mastectomy, but
capsular contracture may detract from long-term outcomes. The authors have observed that …

Background: Acellular dermal matrix has been increasingly accepted in prosthetic breast
reconstruction. Observed benefits include improved control and support of implant position …

In a study on rats to assess soft tissue response to textured silicone implants, ellipsoid 15 x
20 mm pieces from the bag of a Biocell (R) breast prosthesis were implanted under the …

Introduction: Capsular contracture is a multifactorial process involving inflammation and
fibrosis. Although Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) is widely used to prevent the formation of …

The effects of a fascial tissue interface on silicone implant capsule formation were studied in
a rabbit model. In two experimental groups, the thoracodorsal fascia was harvested either as …

Background Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are commonly used to support implant-based
breast reconstruction. However, there is little comparative data on the incorporation process …

Background: The body responds to prosthetic materials with an inflammatory foreign body
response and deposition of a fibrous capsule, which may be deleterious to the function of …

Background In advanced breast cancer, radiotherapy is recommended as adjuvant therapy
following breast reconstructive surgery. This inevitably led to growing concerns over …

Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate cytotoxicity, inflammatory
response, and angiogenesis induced by silicone gel breast implants with different textured …

Capsular contracture is a potential adverse effect of breast implants. An inflammatory
reaction is most likely the origin of fibrosis around the implant. It is possible that some …
