Abstract
Transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation (in the submuscular pocket) was described by Price et al. in 1994. Compared with previously described blind transaxillary approaches, the transaxillary endoscopic approach maintains the advantage of inconspicuous scars and in addition affords direct vision for excellent control of the pocket dissection. The endoscopic camera also allows a magnified image of the dissection plane.
