Description

<p>Silicone breast implants (SBI) for breast reconstruction became covered by Japanese medical insurance in 2013. Reports suggest that the 10-year risk of SBI rupture is around 10%. This study examined the rate of SBI rupture and associated risk factors in Japan. A total of 2071 patients who received SBI reconstruction underwent SBI ultrasonography at our institution. The results revealed that 95% exhibited no rupture, while 5% showed evidence of rupture, with rupture rates of 1.1 and 11.8% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified prolonged implantation duration, multiple insertions, and capsular contracture as independent risk factors for rupture. Therefore, careful monitoring is essential when these factors are present. As the use of SBI in breast reconstruction continues to increase, further research is needed, particularly focusing on late complications, including rupture. </p>
