Abstract:
Objective
To explore the clinical application of Mammotome minimally invasive system in the removal of injected breast augmentation material polyacrylamide hydrogel(PAHG).
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed totally 38 cases who underwent the removal of injected breast augmentation material PAHG using Mammotome minimally invasive system under the guidance of ultrasound from February 2009 to April 2013. The postoperative pathological findings and follow-up results were recorded.
Results
PAHG was removed in all 38 cases. Subcutaneous fluid was observed in 3 cases, and no postoperative infection was found.All cases were followed up for 3.0-24.0 months, and 8 cases were found with residual PAHG, and all patients were satisfied with breast appearance.
Conclusion
As a minimally invasive technique with few complications,Mammotome is safe, effective and feasible for the removal of injected breast augmentation material PAHG.
