32. Summary Of ResultsSummary Of Results
A Pilot Study was performed to determine the efficacy
of OsteoSet & Vancomycin Beads with replacement
of implant + capsulotomy / capsulectomy to prevent
recurrent capsular contracture
While 71% showed an improvement with the use of the
beads so did 64% without using beads
There was a 4% Grade III-IV capsular contracture rate
for primary breast augmentation
33. 1. The current results did not reach statistical significance, n= low sample size
unable to show a difference between surgery with antibiotic beads vrs no beads
2. The surgical techniques used are in keeping with other current standards based on
a 4% rate of capsular contracture after primary augmentation
3. Symptomatic hypercalcemia has been reported with 10mls of Ca Sulphate beads
4. The inflammatory reaction to a biofilm may be individual including
the susceptibility of the biofilm to local immunity and antibiotic therapy
5. The 29% failure rate of surgery with Vancomycin beads may be a reflection of the
inadequate dosage of Vancomycin +/- need for an additional anti-staphlococcal agent
for biofilm producing bacteria, such as rifampicin ?
6. The results support further work, (n) & a prospective, randomized study
