The Use of “Precapsular Space” in Secondary Breast Reconstruction
2016
Background
Periprosthetic capsule formation is a physiological phenomenon occurring around breast implants. In case of capsular contracture, several surgical techniques are described; among them, total capsulectomy is considered the gold standard, but it is not free of complications. A more conservative procedure is the use of “precapsular space”, leaving intact the preexisting capsule. The method presents minor complications and further advantages over total capsulectomy.
