Delay between expansion and expander/implant exchange in breast reconstruction--a prospective study.
Abstract
It has been suggested that delay between expansion and insertion of the definitive prosthesis in breast reconstruction reduces the incidence of adverse capsular contracture. We have carried out a prospective trial to examine this hypothesis. 65 patients were randomly allocated into two groups; in one, insertion of the definitive prosthesis was 2 weeks following expansion ("immediate") and in the other, 6 months ("delayed"). The incidence of adverse capsular contracture assessed both by the Baker Scale and a linear analogue scale showed no difference between the two groups. A new objective method for measuring ptosis using a specially designed template is described. The degree of ptosis was not affected by the delay.
