Your reconstructions will fail if you do not take this out!! This patient had a pretty tough journey with her breasts before coming to Dr Cassileth. Stay tuned for future videos sharing her story! For now, let’s look at her capsule from her prior surgery. She has a history of Multiple infections postoperatively, and in a patient with this background it is dangerous to keep a capsule left from prior surgery and important to remove it! The capsule served no benefit to her and can cause more harm in the long run as it can harbor biofilms and low grade bacteria. #breastcancerawareness #breastcancer #breastreconstruction #breastreconstructionawareness #breastreconstructionsurgery #breastrecon #biofilm #bacteria #pathogens #capsule
