En bloc resection with capsulectomy in breast implant surgery may be problematic and challenging, with
limited indications aside from Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma [1, 2]. This is a
case report highlighting the technique and tools utilized intraoperatively in higher risk circumstances with
a 35-year-old female patient and her medical team requesting explantation with total capsulectomy as a
compassionate measure for a perceived contribution towards the patient’s uncontrolled hypertension of
unknown etiology [3].
Hydradenitis suppurtiva [HS] is an inflammatory skin condition often presenting in the intertrigenous areas of the body, with chronic and recurrent lesions typically treated by wide margin surgical excision. We discuss an uncommon presentation of HS in the popliteal fossa, with unique surgical considerations due to a previous traumatic below knee amputation of the affected side and potential for skin contractures affecting mobility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
