Implants Double Infection Risk After Breast Reconstruction
Date:1/22/2008

provides a surface on which bacteria can grow. And implantation involves a number of procedures that create opportunities for infections to occur, he said.

But Colen also stressed that reconstruction using abdominal tissue has its own risks. He told the Times that these procedures take several hours longer than implant reconstructions, boosting patients' odds for blood clots and lung embolisms. And in 2 percent of cases, the transplanted tissue dies, necessitating more surgeries.

Effective prevention measures would reduce both infections and related costs, Olsen's team wrote. Those measures include, "strategies to optimize the timing and dosage of prophylactic antibiotics administered before the surgical incision, glucose control in diabetic patients, promotion of meticulous hand hygiene and strategies to promote timely removal of drains, among others," they said.
