“…Outras indicações têm sido a avaliação após cirurgias plásticas de redução ou de aumento das mamas (LEIBMANN & KRUSE, 1990;CACCIALANZA et al, 1994;BEER, KOMPATSCHER, HERGAN, 1996), também após cirurgias oncológicas conservadoras ou após as reconstruções mamárias que sucedem mastectomias radicais (FELICE et al, 1987;MENDELSON et al, 1994). Nestas pacientes são freqüentemente encontradas áreas de esteatonecrose, cujo diagnóstico diferencial com neoplasias pode ser difícil (MANDREKAS et al, 1994;HARVEY et al, 1997;SOO et al, 1998).…”

There is an ongoing discussion about the possible connection of gel-filled silicone implants for breast augmentation and the development of connective tissue disease. In the absence of any proven link and irrespective of the difficulty to prove such a causality, these discussions lead to great concern for the hundreds of thousands of women who underwent breast augmentation with silicone gel implants. As a consequence there are voices that call for regular checks of the implants with regard to their integrity. All the external methods of judging an implant, including MRI, can--if at all--detect only marked lesions or ruptures. Direct visualization of the implant up to now has been the only safe method. Direct visualization can be carried out by reopening the previous incision or by endoscopic inspection. Endoscopic evaluation needs the dexterity of all endoscopic plastic surgery procedures, but with sufficient training and experience it is a very safe, quick, and highly compliant procedure for the patient and can be combined with endoscopic biopsies and other endoscopic operations such as capsulotomies.

Reduction mammaplasty results in architectural distortion, fat necrosis, and heavy scarring of the breast. In such conditions, mammography (MG) might not be reliable and an alternative unfailing imaging technique is demanded to prevent unnecessary apprehension and biopsy. With this study, the value of Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scintimammography (SCM) as an adjunct test after reduction mammaplasty was explored. MIBI scintigraphy is not affected by scar tissue or breast density and is able to differentiate benign and malignant lesions. The study was conducted on 12 women undergoing a reduction mammaplasty operation (McKissock technique). The average age was 38 and the average weight of breast tissue removed from each breast was 320 g. All patients, except one who was 21 years old, underwent MG and SCM preoperatively, and these tests were repeated at the sixth postoperative month. Preoperative MG and SCM revealed no pathology except a finding in one patient consistent with fibroadenoma. Postoperatively, the most common findings in MG were parenchymal redistribution, elevation of the nipple, and retroareolar fibrotic bands. Calcifications and oil cysts were not seen. Other findings were areola and skin thickening. Interestingly, these findings were not evident on the SCM, in fact it was not possible to state whether or not the breast had been operated on. In conclusion, SCM may not be used as screening test, but it should be considered when the postoperative MG is not informative or is complicated by scaring. In this condition, SCM may be used as a complementary method to MG and may help to prevent unnecessary breast biopsies.
