A Clinical Comparison of the Tendency to Capsular Contracture Between Smooth and Textured Gel-Filled Silicone Mammary Implants
Abstract
The aim of this prospective, controlled clinical investigation was to find out if there is a difference in the capsular contracture rate between silicone implants with a smooth or textured surface as the only difference. Twenty-five women with bilateral mammary hypoplasia underwent mammary augmentation. All got a textured implant on one side and a smooth implant on the other. The implants were placed subglandularly. Follow-up examinations were done on six occasions. Three parameters were used for estimation of the tendency to capsular contracture: (1) the patient's opinion on differences in hardness of the breasts, (2) the investigator's classification of capsular contracture, and (3) applanation tonometry. At the end of the follow-up period, after 1 year, all parameters showed with no doubt that the breasts augmented with textured implants had a lower tendency to develop contracting capsules than the breasts augmented with smooth implants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
