Capsulectomy versus capsulotomy to treat breast capsular contracture: a comprehensive review and analysis

Objective: Many studies investigating the treatment of capsular contracture after implant-based breast surgery have been published. However, there have been only a few comparative studies between capsulectomy and capsulotomy. The authors performed a comprehensive literature review to compare recurrence rates between capsulectomy and capsulotomy. Surgical complications were reviewed as secondary outcome.
