Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

2.9K
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...

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

2.3K
Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Abdominoplasty techniques have evolved significantly since the 1960s.
  • It is a common procedure in aesthetic plastic surgery aimed at removing excess abdominal tissue and improving trunk silhouette.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a preferred approach for full cosmetic abdominoplasty.
  • To share collective surgical experiences from South America, North America, and Asia.

Main Methods:

  • Summarizing key technical aspects of a shared surgical approach.
  • Utilizing conservative muscle plication.
  • Employing customized excess tissue resection.
  • Incorporating ultrasound-assisted liposuction for definition.
  • Combining with lipofilling for body contouring.

Main Results:

  • Key technical aspects identified include conservative muscle plication, customized tissue resection, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
  • The technique aims to improve abdominal lines and body curves.
  • Aesthetic results were presented.

Conclusions:

  • Abdominoplasty must be individualized to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals.
  • Consideration of all surrounding anatomical areas of the abdominal wall is crucial.
