Quebra de ponta de cânula, no plano gorduroso, durante lipoaspiração

Wolfenson M et al.

Broken and Retained Tip of Liposuction Cannula in the Scalp

“…It is a rare complication and only two such cases have been reported in English literature. 3,4 Wolfenson et al reported a similar case with broken cannula tip in the left side of the chest 3 and Herbst and Saltvig reported broken cannula in the right thigh during liposuction. 4 In above both cases, the retained cannula tip was identified with C-arm and the broken tips were retrieved.…”

“…Wolfenson et al case report describes the cause for breakage is use of larger diameter cannulas more than 4 mm, which probably had defects, as narrow openings in the form of "slots," in the region of the lumen that, because they were in the interior of the cannula, were not detected by either the manufacturer's quality control evaluation or the medical team. 3 Herbst and Saltvig case report describes the causes for breakage to be as follows: cannulas used for infiltration are long, with thin walls and have several holes. These three elements make the cannula potentially at risk of damage or breakage.…”
