Resumen
MONTON ECHEVERRIA, Javier. Current situation of national breast implants registries in countries of the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP). Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.3, pp.251-256. Epub 05-Dic-2022. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922022000300002.
Since the appearance of centralized registries of breast implants in several countries around the world, the implantation and use of each registry has been uneven. From the FILACP (Ibero Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery) Implant Registrations Commi- ttee we launched a study to evaluate the current status of this type of databases. The study was carried out in the countries of the Federation and consisted of an online survey.
It was answered by 20 of the 22 countries. Only 1 country (Spain) has a fully functional national registry, while 4 more countries (20%) have a compilation reporting systems or private registries of prosthesis manufactu- rers. In 35% of countries there is no intention to start any national registry.
We also review in the work the aspects of the system in each country.
