Abstract:
Advantages of standard endoscopic surgery include diminished incidence of scarring, numbness, bleeding, and edema, making endoscopic surgery preferable to the conventional suprapubic approach. Endoscopic-assisted abdominoplasty can also treat diastasis recti deformity with minimal excess skin. For enhanced results, a learning curve is expected to achieve optimal technical expertise.
