Analysis of factors and errors affecting the development of complications after breast reconstruction with silicone implants in cancer patients

Currently, breast reconstruction with silicone endoprostheses has become widespread. This was facilitated by the simplicity of the surgical technique, rapid recovery of patients, and the availability of high-quality synthetic and biological materials. With one-stage breast reconstruction, optimal aesthetic results can be achieved in one surgical intervention. However, some factors can make adjustments to the reconstruction result. Most foreign and Russian publications are devoted to the effect of radiation therapy on the development of complications after the use of silicone endoprostheses/tissue expanders. In our article, we analyzed studies devoted to the analysis of the influence of various factors that can provoke the development of infection, implant protrusion, and other complications. Taking into account all possible criteria at the preoperative, postoperative stages, and directly during surgery, it is possible to significantly reduce the risks of implant loss and reoperations.
