As stated in the literature: ¿early seroma formation is defined as periprosthetic fluid accumulation within the first postoperative year, whereas the late form is any moment beyond that time.¿ (sforza, et al.2017).¿seroma can present both early and late, with the latter being recently linked with malignant growths and prolonged onset.¿ (sforza, et al.2017).¿the human breast is not a sterile anatomic structure; it contains endogenous flora, derived from the nipple ducts, that is essentially similar to that found in normal skin.Multiple breast ducts provide a passage from the skin surface to deep within the breast tissue.¿(pittet et al, 2005)."extrusion represents potential complications associated with the use of breast implants, it involves the implant coming through the skin, normally through the incision where it¿s been placed.Extrusion can happen for several reasons, such as the skin over the implant thinned too much leaving too little coverage for the implant, the implant used is too large, the incision did not heal well and broke open.Implant exposure due to poor tissue coverage frequently obligates the surgeon to remove the breast implant and begin anew" (gargano, ciminello & de santis, 2009).Per our directions for use, each patient must receive the establishment labs s.A.¿motiva implants®: information for the patient¿ during her surgical consultation, it is the surgeons´ responsibility to ensure that the patient completely understands the information regarding the risks, benefits, and recommendations associated with silicone gel-filled breast implant surgery, as well as the complications typical of any type of surgery.This document is available in motiva® website: ifu.Motiva.Health the instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: seroma: "seroma is an accumulation of fluid that results from tissue inflammation7.The etiology of seroma is known in breast surgery and is connected to a hypovascular milieu or trauma following the surgery.Often, seromas are reabsorbed by the body over several weeks, but needle drainage is sometimes needed to remove the fluid.While seromas do not increase breast cancer risk, they sometimes heal with scar tissue or calcifications that can raise a concern about mammograms in the future.Seroma symptoms most often appear a week to 10 days after surgery; the area may feel tender and swollen, with a discrete lump and redness arising within a day or two.Early seroma formation is defined as periprosthetic fluid accumulation within the first postoperative year, whereas the late form is any moment beyond that time9.In addition to causing pain, a seroma increases the risk of developing an infection in the breast.Depending on the location, it may also increase pressure over the surgical site and sometimes cause wound dehiscence".Infection: "signs of acute infection reported in association with breast tissue expanders include edema, erythema, tenderness, pain, and fever.As with other invasive surgeries, toxic shock syndrome (tss), a life-threatening condition, has been reported in rare instances following breast implant surgery.Symptoms of tss occur suddenly and can include high fever (102°f (38.8°c) or higher), vomiting, diarrhea, sunburn-like rash, red eyes, dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle aches, and drops in blood pressure, which may cause fainting.Patients should immediately contact their physician for diagnosis and treatment if any of these symptoms occur." extrusion: "breast implant extrusion, or breast implant exposure, occurs when the breast skin and tissues that are holding the implant fail, causing the implant to protrude through the skin and become exposed.It happens in less than 2% of patients; it is shortly after breast augmentation or down the road.Breast-implant extrusion can occur for various reasons, such as improper wound healing due to an infection, trauma, too little soft-tissue coverage, oversized implant coupled with too little tissue coverage, or lack of blood supply.Breast-implant extrusion calls for surgery and removal of the implant".Dehiscence: "surgical wound dehiscence (swd) is the separation of the margins of a closed surgical incision that has been made in the skin with or without exposure or protrusion of underlying tissue, organs or implants.Separation may occur at single or multiple regions, involve the incision's full length, and affect one or more tissue layers.A dehisced incision may or may not display clinical signs and symptoms of infection.In addition, a review of the device history record was conducted, and it was concluded that there were no deviations in the manufacturing process of this device that would have caused or contributed to this incident.
