Abstract:
:Until the development of implant endoscopy, the only method available to evaluate silicone-gel breast implants accurately for silicone leaks involved making a wide incision and visually inspecting the implant. Endoscopic magnification, however, allows an accurate diagnosis to be achieved rapidly and safely by using a tiny incision that does not endanger the implant. As breast implant endoscopy becomes more common, perioperative nurses should be able to discuss the procedure with patients. The information provided in this article is intended to educate nurses on the procedure and prepare them to counsel patients undergoing the procedure.
