Capsular contracture is one of the most distressing complications of breast implant use in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. This systematic review was performed to assess the effectiveness of all nonsurgical treatments for established capsular contracture.

Preliminary results of complex treatment of 58 patients with I-IIIC breast cancer (T1-4N0-3M0) who underwent radical mastectomy with reconstruction of the breast in its various variants and conformal radiotherapy in adjuvant mode to the pectoral region and regional lymph drainage are presented in the article. A low incidence of complications from the reconstructed breast was noted: two (7 %) cases of implant removal due to pronounced capsular contracture and in connection with infection of the implant bed. At the time of observation of patients from 11.5 to 158.9 months, median 18.6 months, in 3 (5 %) patients clinically significant radiation pulmonitis was detected. The overall two-year survival was 97 % and progression-free survival was 90 %. In 6 (10 %) patients distant me-tastases were detected, in 1 (2 %) - recurrence of the disease in the area of postoperative scar. Thus reconstructive-plastic surgery can be an integral part of complex anti-tumor treatment including radiotherapy with direct indications to it in full volume and dose.

AbstractPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autogenously harvested liquid platelet concentrate extracted from a patient's peripheral blood that contains higher than baseline concentrations of growth factors and cytokines. This innovative new technology has demonstrated great promise in the field of plastic surgery, and its use has been evaluated in several clinical settings including wound healing, hair restoration, and skin rejuvenation. The goal of this article is to explain the biology behind PRP and to review the basic principles involved in its preparation. This will be followed by a discussion of some clinical applications of PRP in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
