En Bloc Candidates
Not all patients are candidates for En Bloc capsulectomy. On occasion, the capsule is so dilapidated that it is nearly impossible to remove in one piece. Especially true for thin capsular tissue adjacent to the ribcage, where cutting deep can lead to a punctured lung cavity or prolonged pain.
En Bloc Procedure
En Bloc means ‘in one piece’ and this well describes how the surgeon goes about removing the implant. Very carefully, the surrounding soft tissue needs to be detached from the capsule, which has formed around the implant. The capsule has to be removed in one piece. If for some reason, this is not possible, any remaining pieces of the capsule have to be found and removed. In some cases, the implant may have ruptured. This is when experience and patience are needed to carefully remove any tissue that has become contaminated. This process can take several hours.
En Bloc Breast Implant Removal is arguably the wisest and the best way to explant breast implants. This procedure involves the removal of the implant, all extruded material, and capsule in full as one.
En Bloc vs. Capsulectomy – What’s the difference?
En Bloc can be confused with a Capsulectomy. These terms are sometimes misunderstood as the same procedure. A capsulectomy just removes scar tissue surrounding the implant and does not always involve the removal of the implant. In the advanced En Bloc Implant Removal procedure, the implant remains in the capsule, and the entire unit is removed. Together, removing the scar tissue and implant together reduces the risk of rupture or other potential complications.
