Article Synopsis
- Abdominoplasty, a popular aesthetic procedure, has a higher risk of complications, particularly postoperative nausea and vomiting, which can lead to significant issues such as reopening of ligated vessels and increased intraabdominal pressure.
- A study analyzed data from 189 patients who underwent abdominoplasty from 2017 to 2019, comparing those who experienced vomiting after surgery to those who did not, focusing on the development of postoperative hematoma.
- Results showed that 62.5% of patients with vomiting developed a hematoma, compared to only 9.25% of those without vomiting, highlighting that postoperative vomiting significantly increases the hematoma risk in abdominoplasty patients.
Background: The deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) perforator flap is an established method to reconstruct osteocutaneous defects. However, the cutaneous perforators come with a great anatomic variability. To deal with this problem, we used a sequential chimeric osteocutaneous free flap for reconstruction.
