title: [TURNOVER CAPSULAR FLAPS FOR THE TREATMENT OF IMPENDING EXTRUSION OF SILICONE PROSTHESIS IN RECONSTRUCTED BREASTS].
abstract: Pressure necrosis which might be followed by skin necrosis and implant extrusion is a dreaded complication of breast reconstructive surgery. Over the years, several techniques have been introduced to address this challenging problem. We offer a novel surgical technique to confront this perplexing complication. By using the capsule of the implant as a turnover flap, the soft tissue coverage is enhanced thereby decreasing the pressure between the breast prosthesis and the over-laying skin. The technique is simply reproduced, requires no new incisions, and avoids further morbidity to the involved breast reconstructed patient.
