Scoring macroscopic and microscopic evaluations.

Macroscopic evaluation
1 The growth of the implant
Definition Score
The implant vanished, or it was visible without the vesicle 1
The implant fashioned a vesicle with the major dimension less than 2 mm 2
The implant fashioned a cyst containing fluid, with the major dimension ⩾ 2 mm, but < 4.5 mm 3
The major dimension of the vesicle was ⩾ 4.5, but < 6 4
Implant size ⩾ 6 mm 5
2 The adhesion severity
Definition Score
Without resistance to separation 0
Partially resistant to separation 0.5
Sharp dissection 1
3 The adhesion extent
Definition Score
No adhesions points 0
Points 25% of traumatized area 1
Points 50.0% of traumatized area 2
The whole points of traumatized area involvement 3
Microscopic evaluation
1 Implants Histologically were scored based on a semi-quantitative assessment
Definition Score
No epithelium 0
Extremely little (insufficient) to remain in the epithelial layers 1
Maintaining the average epithelial layer with leukocyte infiltration 2
The epithelial layers are well maintained and remain 3
2 Masson’s trichrome staining evaluated the presence of stroke and fibrous elements
Definition Score
No fibrosis 0
Minimal growth of fibrous tissue 1
Irregular fibrous tissue growth 2
Integrated and hyalinized accumulated fibrosis 3
