Silicone Implants Biocompatibility after Latissimus Dorsi Flap Reconstruction

Abstract

Background: There are many implications to the ever-growing intimate and necessary involvement of industry in biomedical research for breast reconstruction surgery. Main Body:The major objective of this study to investigate Capsular Contracture (CC) which remains a concern in long-term transplantation and most common complications following silicone implants placement after Latissimus Dorsi flap (LDF) breast reconstruction surgery. CC formation, with special attention paid to immunological and inflammatory reasons, estrogen receptors in peri-prosthetic tissue development, as well as actual prophylactic strategies after breast reconstruction surgery were all investigated. This review summarizes and explores these trends of the association between conflicts of interest and study outcomes in oncoplastic surgery. In addition, we explored whether studies have identified microbial biofilms on various implantable materials and Foreign Body Reaction (FBR). Conclusion:We envision using predictive outcomes of this study to further tailor breast reconstruction procedures according to patients' needs. Moreover, the results can help us to reach the best possible patient counseling, treatment, and care. This work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License
