The treatment of capsular contracture around breast implants induced by fractionated irradiation: the collagenase of the bacterium clostridium histolyticum as a novel therapeutic approach

Irradiation therapy limits the utilization of silicone implants for breast reconstruction due to a significant risk for capsular contracture. The injection of the collagenase of the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) might trivialize this risk by providing a minimal-invasive treatment option b...
