    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • General Surgery

    Background:

    • Abdominal wall excisions encompass procedures like panniculectomy and abdominoplasty.
    • These surgeries address both functional and aesthetic concerns related to the abdominal wall.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall excisions.
    • To assess outcomes for patients undergoing panniculectomy for intra-abdominal disease or hernia repair.
    • To review abdominoplasty outcomes for cosmetic improvement and tissue excision.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 126 abdominal wall excisions in 123 patients.
    • Categorization of procedures into panniculectomy (84 patients) and abdominoplasty (39 patients).
    • Analysis of complication rates and patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Complications associated with abdominal wall excisions were minimal.
    • Panniculectomy facilitated intra-abdominal disease access and hernia repair.
    • Abdominoplasty successfully improved abdominal appearance and addressed redundant tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • Abdominal wall excisions are a valuable surgical option with low complication rates.
    • Surgeons should consider incorporating these techniques to enhance abdominal function and appearance.
    • Patient treatment for major abdominal issues should not be compromised by aesthetic or functional abdominal wall procedures.
