Enhancing Patient Outcomes in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery Using Triple Antibiotic Breast Irrigation: Six-Year Prospective Clinical Study

Abstract: Triple antibiotic breast irrigation is clinically associated with a low incidence of capsular contracture compared with other published reports, and its clinical efficacy supports previously published in vitro studies. Application of triple antibiotic irrigation is recommended for all aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures and is cost effective.

“…The aetiology of CC remains unclear but recent evidence suggests a bacterial infection trigger for (32). There are no known specific preventive measures for CC but technical considerations such as antibiotic breast pocket irrigation (33), use of textured implants (34), and subpectoral placement of implants (35) have all been shown to reduce the risk of contracture. A growing body of evidence indicates that the use of ADM may provide another means to reduce the risk of CC (2)(3)(4)(5)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…An accurate surgery should be pursued, reducing bleedings and tissues devascularization, through careful atraumatic dissections with proper surgical tools. We advise to perform implant pocket irrigation with triple antibiotic solution as suggested by Adams and colleagues (39)(40)(41) or 500 cc of saline solution with one vial of amikacine (for each breast). We also advice to fit the implant pocket with saline solution wet gauzes for five minutes to remove any residual dust inside the pocket, then washing the skin with antibacterial solution and remove the gauzes.…”

“…Darouiche et al (5) reported a significant decrease in the rates of contracture in a rabbit model when silicone implants impregnated with minocycline-rifampin were tested. Two studies (1,4) have assessed the efficacy of local antibacterial agents (e.g., povidone-iodine, cephalothin, bacitracin, cephalexin, and gentamicin) in patients undergoing breast implant procedures. Such intervention was associated with a lower incidence of capsular contracture than those in other published reports not using antimicrobial irrigation (9,10), indirectly suggesting that bacteria may be involved in the pathogenesis of capsular contracture.…”

“…Women who have undergone breast implantation may experience local complications during the ensuing years. Capsular contracture is the most common and frustrating complication (1,3), with a reported incidence as high as 50 to 74% according to some studies (4,9). Capsular contracture is classified according to the Baker classification system (14), as follows: grade I, breast absolutely natural; grade II, minimum contracture; grade III, moderate contracture; and grade IV, severe contracture.…”
