Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

4.1K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum01:26

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

5.8K
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

19.4K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion01:18

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion

3.2K
Percussion is a fundamental technique used to assess the liver, spleen, and abdominal organs by tapping the abdomen and interpreting the resulting sounds. This method helps identify fluid, distention, and masses through variations in sound, such as the high-pitched tympany of air-filled areas and the dullness of solid masses. Understanding how to percuss these organs provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in diagnosing conditions early.

Percussion is an essential...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Gluteal suspension using polypropylene strips is a surgical technique aimed at improving gluteal aesthetics.
  • Patient satisfaction and complication rates are key outcomes in evaluating such procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes and complication rates of gluteal suspension utilizing polypropylene strips.
  • To assess the efficacy of polypropylene strips as a standalone or adjunctive procedure for gluteal rejuvenation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 90 healthy female patients (ages 20-50) undergoing gluteal suspension with polypropylene strips between 2004 and 2013.
  • Procedures included polypropylene strip suspension, tumescent liposuction, fat grafting, and gluteal implant placement or revision.
  • Patients received 2 polypropylene strips per buttock, with varying combinations of adjunctive procedures.

Main Results:

  • Good aesthetic results were achieved in 84% (75/90) of patients with no complications.
  • Complications occurred in 16.6% (15/90) of patients, including strip removal (1.1%) and seroma (3.3%).
  • The study period spanned 8 years, evaluating outcomes over this duration.

Conclusions:

  • Gluteal suspension with polypropylene strips is effective for enhancing and lifting the gluteal and paragluteal areas.
  • The procedure can be performed as a single intervention or in combination with other cosmetic modalities.
  • The technique offers a successful approach to addressing gluteal ptosis and improving contour.
