Determination of the cause of spherical construction of complications after breast prosthesis surgery
Sep 17, 2025
Professor Yang Jeong-deok of plastic surgery at Chilgok Kyungpook National University Hospital published a study on the cause of 'capsular contraction' that is common after surgery using breast implants in the international journal 'BMC Microbiology'.
In this study, the latest next-generation sequencing (NGS) method, which can more precisely analyze bacterial and microbial ecosystems that are difficult to detect with existing bacterial culture methods, was introduced to determine the cause of complications related to the implant as a film formed around the implant.
The research team explained that the distribution of specific bacteria in the film of the patient group with spherical construction was significantly different from that of the normal group, which is likely to be related to a fine inflammatory response, and that endogenous factors related to the imbalance of microorganisms in the body may play an important role in the occurrence of spherical construction.
Professor Yang Jeong-deok said, "The most common and painful complication after breast prosthesis surgery is spherical construction, and through this study, we are one step closer to identifying the cause.""In the future, we will be able to contribute to the preparation of prevention and treatment strategies based on these scientific grounds" he stressed."
Meanwhile, Professor Yang Jeong-deok is currently the head of the medical department at Chilgok Gyeongbuk University Hospital, the review director of the Korean Plastic Surgery Association, and served as the president of the breast plastic surgery research group of the Korean Plastic Surgery Association.
