Abstract
Purpose of a study: to evaluate the possibility of preserving breast implants in patients with severe burns.
Material and methods. A patient G., 52 years old, was hospitalized in the Department of Thermal Injuries of the I.I. Dzhanelidze St. Petersburg Research Institute for Emergency Medicine due to burn disease, flame burns 37% (32%)/I–II–III degree of the neck, torso, upper and lower extremities. On the 2nd day after the injury, a patient with severe burns underwent excision on pre-augmented mammary glands to the level of adipose tissue with simultaneous skin grafting.
Results. On the 4th day after treatment, at least 80% of the area of skin grafts transplanted to the mammary glands was found to be engrafted, and further skin grafting was not required on them. In our case, early surgical treatment made it possible to avoid reactive capsulitis, the need to remove implants and achieve acceptable aesthetic and functional results.
Conclusion. Presented observation demonstrates the potential for the preservation of implants in the case of localization of burns on the augmented mammary glands.
