Download or read book Safety of Silicone Breast Implants written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-01-06 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dow Corning case raised serious questions about the safety of silicone breast implants and about larger issues of medical device testing and patient education. Safety of Silicone Breast Implants presents a well-documented, thoughtful exploration of the safety of these devices, drawing conclusions from the available research base and suggesting further questions to be answered. This book also examines the sensitive issues surrounding women's decisions about implants. In reaching conclusions, the committee reviews: The history of the silicone breast implant and the development of its chemistry. The wide variety of U.S.-made implants and their regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. Frequency and consequences of local complications from implants. The evidence for and against links between implants and autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disease, neurological problems, silicone in breast milk, or a proposed new syndrome. Evidence that implants may be associated with lower frequencies of breast cancer. Safety of Silicone Breast Implants provides a comprehensive, well-organized review of the science behind one of the most significant medical controversies of our time.

Download or read book Factors Associated with the Failure of Silicone Gel filled Breast Implants written by Julie Lynn Cross and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the systemic health consequences of silicone gel-filled breast implants have been explored in several large studies, little attention has been placed on factors associated with implant failure (defined as silicone gel on the outside of the implant and commonly referred to as implant rupture). This study explores woman-specific and implant-specific characteristics potentially associated with silicone breast implant failure. The study population consists of 441 women (807 implants) who received MRI examination to diagnose the integrity of their implants (i.e., failed versus intact) between 1992 and 1995 at the UCSD MRI Institute and who responded to a mailed survey in 1996 (79% response rate). Information included the woman's demographic characteristics and personal factors. Medical records provided information about the patient's implants and her implant surgery. Multivariate analysis using the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) approach was conducted in order to control for confounding and simultaneously take into account the correlation between factors from two implants within the same woman. Thirty percent of the implants had failed. Meme ME polyurethane-coated implants were identified as having a much greater risk of failure than other implants (86% compared to 27%), and failure occurred in this sub-group at a much younger implant age. Among non-Meme ME implants, increasing age and having had a previous implant were strong predictors of implant failure. Implants placed in the sub-muscular position were at higher risk of failure compared to sub-glandular implants, and smaller implants were more likely to fail than larger ones. Wearing a bra during exercise (always or most of the time) appeared to increase the risk of failure if the implants were sub-glandular or hard. Hardness was a risk factor for implant failure, but only among women who wore a bra during exercise. The risk of failure for a "typical" patient with a 10-year old implant was estimated to be 17%. The results of this study offer guidance to women with breast implants and their health care providers who are questioning their risk of silicone breast implant failure

Book excerpt: Employed for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes, breast implants are one of the most widely-used and controversial prostheses available. The development of safe, reliable products is vital to the future of this important field of surgery. Biomaterials in plastic surgery reviews the history, materials and safety issues associated with breast implants. Beginning with an introduction to the history of biomaterials used for breast augmentation, Biomaterials in plastic surgery goes on to discuss development issues. It then discusses the chemistry and physical properties of biomedical silicones before reviewing cohesive gel and polyurethane foam implants. The book concludes by analysing the epidemiological evidence on the safety issues relating to breast implants, followed by a review of retrieval and analysis of breast implants emphasizing strength, durability and failure mechanisms. With its distinguished editors and international team of expert contributors, Biomaterials in plastic surgery is an important guide for surgeons, manufacturers and all those researching this important field. Comprehensively examines the history, materials and safety issues associated with breast implants Provides an overview of the history of biomaterials used for breast augmentation and goes on to discuss the development and chemical and physical properties of biomedical silicones Reviews cohesive gel breast implants and polyurethane foam breast implants
