To illustrate problems observed with low-porosity expanded polytetrafluoroethylene soft tissue implants and to describe a new dual-porosity implant, the technique for insertion, and this author's preliminary experience.
A review of 175 pieces of SoftForm (Collagen Corporation, Palo Alto, Calif) placed in 69 patients over 3 years was performed. Between October 1, 1997, and September 30, 2000, 106 Advanta implants (Atrium Medical Corporation, Hudson, NH) in 42 patients have been carried out. A new instrument for implant insertion and the procedure used is described herein.
The low-porosity expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implants demonstrated a significant amount of problems with shrinkage and migration.
Preliminarily, the dual-porosity implants would appear to offer a lower incidence of these complications. They are subjectively softer to feel once in place. Insertion is quick and easy using the method described herein.
阐述低孔隙率膨体聚四氟乙烯软组织植入物所观察到的问题,并描述一种新型双孔隙率植入物、植入技术以及作者的初步经验。
对3年期间69例患者植入的175块SoftForm(胶原蛋白公司,加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托)进行回顾性研究。在1997年10月1日至2000年9月30日期间,对42例患者植入了106块Advanta植入物(阿特里姆医疗公司,新罕布什尔州哈德逊)。本文描述了一种用于植入物植入的新器械及所采用的手术方法。
低孔隙率膨体聚四氟乙烯植入物出现了大量与收缩和移位相关的问题。
初步来看,双孔隙率植入物似乎能降低这些并发症的发生率。植入后主观感觉更柔软。使用本文所述方法植入快速且简便。
