From the end of this year, every breast prosthesis will be registered. What do you think of this idea?
The Dutch Society for Plastic Surgery is currently busy setting up the system.
The system is being set up because of the issues surrounding the PIP implants. By registering everyone in a system, it will be possible in the future to find out who has which brand of breast prosthesis.
Ten years ago there was also talk of a registration system, but because it was not mandatory then, it never got off the ground. Registration is mandatory with the new system, unless the patient has problems with this.
