Resumen
SANCHEZ-DELGADO, Yazmin et al. Prevalence of risk factors associated with development of capsular contracture after placement of breast implants. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.4, pp.561-566. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.22000307.
Objective:
To determinate the prevalence of the main risk factors associated with development of capsular contracture after placement of breast implants in a referral center.
Method:
Retrospect study on 210 patients where sociodemographic variables, Baker's clinical scale and histopathological results were recorded.
Results:
Statistical analysis of 210 patients was performed; 98.1% were women. The average age was 47 years (± 11), body mass index 25 (± 10) and onset of symptoms 13 years (± 8.5). Sociodemographic factors: domestic work 63.3%. Alcoholism 70% and smoking 65.7%. The main reason for consultation was pain plus deformity in 81.6%. The risk factors with statistical significance were the history of trauma, with 83.3% (p = 0.004), and the subglandular plane, with 73.8% (p = 0.0115). Histopathology: fibrous capsule 81.4%.
Conclusions:
The prevalence of the risk factors described are similar to those reported in the literature. Only for the history of trauma and the subglandular plane there was statistical significance.
