Intracapsular injection of XXXX for intractable capsule contracture.

@entity1 @entity194 @entity1159 @entity2713
In a clinical experiment, @entity1 with intractable capsular contracture were treated with intracapsular injections of @entity2713 . One group consisted of 16 @entity1 with @entity1159 that could not be released with closed compression. In this group, there was modest success, with correction of the problem without surgery in less than half. The second group consisted of 4 @entity1 who had each had at least three previous closed capsulotomies with recurrent contracture. In this group, all @entity1159 were resolved without operation. There were four major complications and several minor complications. Major complications included three cases of major @entity194 requiring surgical correction. This problem appeared to have been eliminated by reduction of the dose. There was one implant puncture. The potential role of this method in clinical practice will require further study, but it appears to have its greatest utility in prevention of recurrent contracture.
