Clearing Up Capsulectomy Confusion

Показать описание
The term “en bloc” floats around online in breast implant associated illness circles, but this actually refers to cancer surgery where healthy tissue around a tumor is removed.
To update the terminology and clear up any confusion about capsulectomy, Dr. Luke Swistun explains the definitions and differences between the specific explant procedures.
For his usual breast implant removal procedure, “total intact" is the most accurate term, which involves carefully removing the entire capsule without disturbing healthy tissue.
