Question
- What is the comparative clinical effectiveness of povidone-iodine solutions versus other antiseptic solutions for pocket irrigation in breast implant surgery?
- What is the comparative clinical effectiveness of povidone-iodine solutions versus other antiseptic solutions for implant soaking in breast implant surgery?
- What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding the use of povidone-iodine solutions for biofilm mitigation and to prevent infection during and after breast implant surgery?
Key Message
Low quality evidence, suggests that povidone-iodine breast pocket irrigation is effective in reducing capsular contracture in patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery with implants.No relevant studies on clinical effectiveness of soaking implants with povidone-iodine were identified. No relevant evidence-based guidelines were identified regarding the use of povidone-iodine for breast implant surgery.
