Infection surveillance and prevention strategies to detect and prevent postaccess breast tissue expander infections
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2019
Abstract
No standardized surveillance criteria exist for surgical site infection after breast tissue expander (BTE) access. This report provides a framework for defining postaccess BTE infections and identifies contributing factors to infection during the expansion period. Implementing infection prevention guidelines for BTE access may reduce postaccess BTE infections.
