| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate an operation, in which removing breast cysts of foreign body resulted from augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection was performed simultaneously with silicone prosthesis implantation under SEPS endoscope in order to relieve tissue injury and increase the accuracy of clearance. METHODS: Eight patients were included in this study. Preoperative type B ultrasound examination was performed to mark the mass. Through an axillary approach, the cysts of foreign body that were distributed in the subcutaneous tissue, breast or muscle were separated and ablated under SEPS endoscope. After removal of the foreign body, a silicone implant was located submuscularly for breast augmentation. RESULTS: The operations were completed without hematoma and infection. Follow-up of the eight patients for 3 to 12 months showed that preoperative symptoms relating to the injected material, such as breast pain, lump and asymmetry, have no longer existed. The shapes of the breasts were satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that endoscope-assisted mammoplasty offers more satisfactory clinical results with less injury, less morbidity, less scars, more accuracy and greater patient acceptance.
