Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation in order to minimize the bleeding and tissue injury.
METHODSSince 2005, 27 patients underwent endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation. Intraoperative bleeding and dissection injury were markedly decreased.
RESULTSThere was no hematoma, seroma and infection except for one case with partial poor incision healing. 16 cases were followed-up for six months to one year. Only one case developed fibrous capsular contracture (Baker II). Good results achieved in all the other cases.
CONCLUSIONSEndoscope assisted breast augmentation can reduce the pain, bleeding and tissue injury. It can also help to put implants to right position.
