Abstract:
Twenty patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy combined with abdominoplasty are described here, along with the criteria used for their selection. No patients suffered pulmonary embolus, significant infection, or other serious complications. Combining the procedures shortened the convalescent period and reduced the total cost. In carefully selected cases it appears that these two procedures can be combined safely.
