Abstract

Surgical augmentation has been performed since 1899, with varying results. Recent developments in endoscopic instrumentation have enabled surgeons to perform many types of procedures through small incisions located at a distance from the surgical site. The transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) has advantages over other methods, including a quicker recovery, less pain, and lower chances of complications. This article familiarizes perioperative personnel with TUBA and how to care for the patients who undergo this procedure.

Critical review of additive mastoplastic with Arion hydrogel prosthesis.

The author reviews his personal experience using additive mastoplastics with the hydrogel prosthesis produced in France by Arion. The enumeration of cases covers 143 patients (285 prosthesis) with 36 months of follow-up evaluation. The positive aspects of this filling (especially the radiotransparency) and its complications are considered, with special attention paid to the wrinkling effect that may be caused by some physical instability of the hydrogel. The well-known controversy of 1992 concerning silicon mammary prostheses encouraged scientists to seek alternative solutions in the field of prosthetic extenders. This effort sometimes produced negative solutions such as the soya oil prosthesis, but at the same time provided materials with excellent physical-chemical qualities, with subsequent positive effects from a clinical point of view. This work is dedicated to one of these products, the Arion hydrogel. After 6-years of utilization with a 36-month follow-up period, 285 prosthesis have been fitted for 143 patients.
