introduction: therapeutic strategies such as chemotherapy can affect gonadal adipose depots. the present study was conducted to assess stereological, morphometric and morphological changes in mouse testicular histoarchitecture structure following bilateral epididymal white adipose tissue lipectomy (biewatx) methods: in this experimental study, adult male mice were divided into three equal group...

Lipodystrophy of the legs and ankles presents a particularly challenging problem in aesthetic surgery. This is true both historically and presently. Anatomic peculiarities and technical challenges delayed the development of treatment for this condition. Today, attempts to overcome these same obstacles continue to rapidly change the face of liposuction in this anatomical area. Lipodystrophy of t...

Background and Objectives: One of the surgical treatments for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is debulking lipectomy. The aim this study to investigate whether dermal thickness could be utilized as an objective indicator post-operative changes following debulking. Materials Methods: A retrospective review BCRL patients who underwent lipectomy was conducted. MRI-based measured by two sep...

A case of severe non-oliguric acute renal failure following cosmetic suction lipectomy in a 33 year old woman is described. The renal failure, although requiring emergency treatment, resolved spontaneously with only negligible residual impairment of renal function. An aetiology involving rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria is proposed and other mechanisms are discussed.

OBJECTIVE To understand the molecular basis of the short and long-term effects of an immediate shortage of energy storage caused by lipectomy on expression profile of genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in high fat and high cholesterol diet-induced obese rats. METHODS The hepatic mRNA levels of enzymes, regulator and transcription factors involved in glucose and lipid metaboli...

CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE Abdominal lipectomy is performed by plastic surgeons to provide symptomatic, functional, and cosmetic relief for patients with excess abdominal tissue. However, there are few clinical outcome studies looking at the utility of this procedure: this is the first prospective oucomes study. DESIGN Patients who underwent abdominal lipectomy at the Bellflower Medical Center during ...

Hardy et al 1 report an independent association between the length of surgery and complication rate. Should the prudent plastic surgeon limit surgery times to about 3 hours and consider staging operations that increase operating time beyond this threshold? As the authors acknowledge, 1 there are some limitations of a retrospective study based on Current Procedural Terminology codes. For example...
