Tissue expansion is involved in the majority of breast reconstruction procedures in the United States. We describe a case of a 56-year-old woman who was found to have bilateral dislodged magnetic ports in her breast tissue expanders at her surgery to replace the expanders with permanent implants. An awareness that this can occur would be helpful for all plastic surgeons who perform breast reconstruction.
在美国,组织扩张术参与了大多数乳房重建手术。我们描述了一例56岁女性的病例,该患者在接受用永久性植入物替换乳房组织扩张器的手术时,发现其双侧乳房组织扩张器中的磁性端口发生了移位。认识到这种情况可能发生,对所有进行乳房重建的整形外科医生都会有所帮助。
