BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to determine whether seroma formation following abdominoplasty is associated with simultaneous liposuction of the flanks and to stratify the risk of developing seromas according to body mass index.
METHODS
A retrospective review was conducted of 118
Introduction: Seroma formation (SF) is the most common postoperative complication after mastectomy and axillary surgery. The aim of this study was to assess its incidence and risk factors following a modified radical mastectomy in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods: 271
BACKGROUND
In light of the scarce literature published regarding seroma formation following abdominoplasty when performed with or without liposuction, the objective of this study was to determine whether abdominoplasty performed in conjunction with flank liposuction confers an increased risk for
The incidence of obesity is on the rise worldwide. Many surgeons elect not to perform abdominoplasty on patients with a high body mass index, fearing an increased risk of perioperative complications. In this study, the authors compare the outcomes of obese and nonobese patients who BACKGROUND
The serum collection under the abdominal flap is the most common complication after a lipo-abdominoplasty. The frequency of seroma increases further among obese patients, who have achieved massive weight loss after bariatric surgery. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the
After breast reconstruction (BR) with latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) postoperative seroma is a frequent source of functional discomfort. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quilting suture on reducing the seroma volume by reducing the dead space created by LDF harvest for BACKGROUND
Frequent complications in incisional hernia surgery are re-herniation, wound infection and seroma formation. The use of subatmospheric pressure dressings such as the vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) device has been shown to be an effective way to accelerate healing of various wounds. Here,
OBJECTIVE
Donor site seroma formation is a common occurrence following abdominal free flap breast reconstructions. Although such seromas usually resolve spontaneously after a few weeks or months, we recently encountered 3 patients with abdominal seromas persisting for up to 2 years postoperatively.
BACKGROUND
Cicatricial complications after abdominal or pelvic surgery are more frequent in obese patients. In this case, infection, seroma and delays in scarring can be extremely difficult to treat. The objective of this technical note is to present an original case of an obese patient operated
OBJECTIVE
Transfascial sutures (TFS) are a standard component of laparoscopic ventral herniorrhaphy (LVHR) that contribute to the durability of repair, but also pain and, resultantly, hospital stay. We sought to examine LVHR without TFS in obese patients with small abdominal wall
BACKGROUND
Prophylactic drainage of wounds is aimed to reduce the wound complications and thereby morbidity. Obese patients are at more risk. The objective of the present study was to determine whether subcutaneous drainage can reduce such complications in elective abdominal surgery
OBJECTIVE
Body mass index (BMI) was assessed as an objective indicator of obesity to determine whether it has an effect on the results of the Karydakis technique for managing chronic pilonidal sinus.
METHODS
The prospective study included 41 consecutive patients with chronic pilonidal sinus
BACKGROUND
It is generally believed that increasing obesity is a predictor of postoperative complications after abdominal contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty and panniculectomy. The purpose of this study is to review the complication rate for abdominal contouring in the level 3 obesity
OBJECTIVE
To determine if subcutaneous drain or closure of the subcutaneous layer decreases the incidence of wound complications in obese women undergoing cesarean delivery.
METHODS
Seventy-six obese women undergoing cesarean delivery and with at least 2 cm of subcutaneous fat were randomized to one
