‘BEST PAPER’ presentation by Dr. JB Ratti at ASICON-2004 (Association of Surgeons of India) conference, on December 30, 2004 at Hyderabad, India
Introduction: Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure on the belly to remove the excess and loose skin, tighten the belly muscles and remove or improve scars from operations in the lower belly. Multiple pregnancies, excessive weight loss and ageing are the common factors which cause the belly muscles and skin to become loose. A Total Abdominoplasty with Umbilical Translocation is a major surgery performed to correct these changes. We at VITAL CLINIC are doing this surgery by the safest ‘TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE’.
TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE: There is exceptional patient safety when Abdominoplasty is performed by tumescent
technique used in liposuction, totally under local anaesthesia and without sedation. Tumescent Technique makes the procedure virtually bloodless and carries a very high safety profile. Patients are awake, well oriented, conversing throughout the procedure and are absolutely free from pain in the postoperative period. Patients are discharged from the clinic after an hour of surgery.
