So, I did a little dinky research thing recently and it has now been published in the journal Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Now, I’m not exactly curing cancer with this research, but I that isn’t always the point.
Anyway, this project was designed to try to understand what surgeons believe about explant surgery (and capsulectomy in particular), so that we can better understand why they make certain decision.
And what we found was, I think, interesting. The main point I would make is that surgeons believe a lot of stuff that has no basis in evidence. Now we already know that this can be an issue in medicine generally, but when it comes to explant surgery I guess it is much easier for surgeons to believe something that isn’t real because there just isn’t enough data. Which, therefore, is kind of the point of this sort of project - these little studies are going to progressively be the thing that allows us to actually have evidence for the decision surgeons make when it comes to explant surgery.
