Two consecutive abdominoplasties can be performed on a patient after a 2-year interval between the first and second procedure by using the same technique. This procedure has been used for specific cases of flaccid abdominal wall skin and ex…

Pregnancy produces changes in the body contour due to skeletal modifications and flaccidity of the cutaneous and musculoaponeurotic tissues. A new technique is proposed to treat the musculoaponeurotic flaccidity and thus achieve a good abdo…

The author describes an abdominoplasty emphasizing preparation of the abdominal flap, reinforcement of the muscular aponeurotic wall, treatment of the excess of cutaneous tegument, and careful handling of the umbilicus. He makes three umbil…

We present a simple technique for umbilicoplasty and some guidelines for improving the results in abdominoplasty. These include preoperative erect marking, equal and exacting retraction, formation of a suprapublic fat pad and a central raph…

Several important details pertinent to the classic transversal low-incision abdominoplasty, commonly underestimated, are pointed out. Metameric sensitivity distribution is focused in the normal individual and then transformed by abdominopla…

[PURPOSE] Hematoma affects 10% to 13% of patients undergoing panniculectomy. Although elevated perioperative blood pressure has been associated with hematoma after rhytidectomy, this has not been established for panniculectomy. We sought to…

[BACKGROUND] Conflicting literature suggests that larger defects in abdominal wall reconstruction both increase the risk of recurrence and have no impact on recurrence. In our prior work, hernias with defect areas ≥100 cm were associated wi…

[BACKGROUND] Recurrent ventral hernia repairs are reported to have higher recurrence and complication rates than initial ventral hernia repairs. This is the largest analysis of outcomes for initial versus recurrent open ventral hernia repai…

The morbidly obese patient has few reliable options if a single free flap is required for large surface area coverage. Usually, a latissimus dorsi muscle would be the primary option. If unavailable, a transverse-oriented abdominal flap base…
