Answer:
Complications:
Infection results from contamination of the prosthesis at surgery or from exposure of the implant. If infection occurs early in the course of expansion, the procedure should be aborted and the implant removed. If it occurs late in a course of expansion, the process can be completed, the expander removed, and the purulent material cleansed with copious irrigation. The expanded tissue can usually be used with minor risk of loss.
Exposure and extrusion are usually the result of poor prosthesis placement, overaggressive expansion, or failure of suture lines. If partial extrusion occurs late in the course of expansion, the implant is left in place and the process is continued. The capsular space should be irrigated and debrided before the flaps are rotated. Permanent implants should not be placed in spaces that have been contaminated by partial extrusion or frank infection.
Discomfort and pain associated with expansion are usually transient. Mild analgesia for 12 to 16 hours is generally sufficient. The use of intraluminal analgesics is not recommended. The lower extremity, back, buttock, neck are highly prone to complications.
