Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Large encapsulated lipomas present surgical challenges.
  • Traditional excision methods can result in significant scarring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and discuss the versatility of endoscopic excision for large encapsulated lipomas.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic outcomes of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic excision was applied in 6 cases.
  • Lipomas were removed in one piece through a single incision (up to 1.5 cm).
  • An endoscope provided wide visualization on a TV monitor through a narrow space.

Main Results:

  • Complete, one-piece lipoma removal was achieved in all 6 cases.

  • The procedure utilized a single, small incision (≤1.5 cm).
  • Excellent cosmetic results were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic excision is an effective and cosmetically advantageous treatment for large encapsulated lipomas.
    • This technique demonstrates significant potential for broader application in plastic surgery.
    • Further development of endoscopic approaches is warranted.
