چکیده
inTRoDuCTion: The transverse upper gracilis (TUG) and the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flaps have been described for breast and perineum reconstruction. However, the abdomen is considered one of the primary donor sites to reconstruct these areas. However, when abdominal tissue is not available, other donor sites such as the thighs or buttocks should be considered. The aim of this study is to describe our experience using the combined TUGPAP flap, for breast and perineum reconstruction.

National Trends in the Use of Inpatient Hospitalization for Combined Abdominoplasty and Breast Surgery
BACKGROUND Combined procedures involving elective breast surgery at the time of abdominoplasty are frequently performed procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery. While found to be safe outpatient procedures, many surgeons elect to perform combined abdominoplasty/breast surgery as inpatient surgery. This study was performed to explore the practice of performing the combined procedure as an inpat...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may require a panniculectomy in preparation for renal transplantation. ESRD is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, electrolyte imbalances, and chronic anemia. These factors may increase the risk of adverse outcomes in patients undergoing panniculectomy. Purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and perioperative co...

متن کاملTen years of outpatient abdominoplasties: safe and effective.
BACKGROUND Abdominoplasty has traditionally been described in the literature as an operation that is performed in a hospital setting, although more recently it is likely that most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. To date, there have been very few large series illustrating the safety and efficacy of abdominoplasty performed in outpatient surgery centers. OBJECTIVE This study re...
