Abstract
In a series of patients who underwent closed rupture of fibrous capsules surrounding mammary prostheses, 3 patients developed hematomas or rupture of the implant, with or without infection. These complications and their management are discussed. Closed capsulotomy is a valuable procedure, simple to apply and easy to learn, but it is not devoid of complications.Entities:
