Abstract
Just as in the surgery of augmentation, so in breast reconstruction, we remain faithful to inflatable implants and for the same reasons:
-
suppleness of use associated with adaptable and variable volume,
-
least foreign body reaction,
-
innocuous content: normal saline has the further advantage of being radio-transparent, unlike silicone gel which makes radiologic surveillance more difficult.
