Abstract:
:In a 3 1/2-year period, periprosthetic infections due to Mycobacterium fortuitum complex organisms complicated augmentation mammaplasty in at least 17 women. To determine the magnitude of the problem and to identify possible risk factors for infection, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 2062 members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons who had performed approximately 64,00 augmentation mammaplasties in 1978. Information about selected aspects of the procedures and practices in use with augmentation mammaplasty and about patients for whom augmentation mammaplasty had been performed was supplied by 67 percent of those surveyed. The estimated attack rate of wound infection after augmentation mammaplasty caused by all organisms was 0.64 percent. Only 5 cases of mycobacterial wound infection were documented after 39,455 augmentation procedures in 1978. Periprosthetic infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum complex organisms appears, for the most part, to be a sporadic event that may occur after simple augmentation mammaplasty, subcutaneous mastectomy with augmentation, or reduction mammaplasty.
