Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Torso deformities can arise from significant weight loss, pregnancy, or congenital conditions.
  • These deformities can impact physical function and body image.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of torsoplasty for correcting torso deformities.
  • To assess patient outcomes and complication rates associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical correction of torso deformities through torsoplasty.
  • Review of patient cases undergoing torsoplasty procedures.

Main Results:

  • Torsoplasty demonstrated highly satisfactory aesthetic and functional results.
  • The incidence of complications following torsoplasty was minimal.

Conclusions:

  • Torsoplasty is a successful surgical option for torso reconstruction.
  • The procedure is associated with a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction.
