What is the specialities of Abdominal surgery?


Major Abdominoplasty usually lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the amount of correction needed. A mini-abdominoplasty usually lasts between 1and 2 hours. The abdominoplasty is done through an incision in a long hip to the other, just above the pubic. We carried out a second incision around the navel, in order to remove the tissue around it.

In the mini-abdominoplasty incision is used much more small, well above the pubis, not being required incision around the navel, where a few cases can be dropped to stretch the skin. Then separates the skin from the abdominal wall upwards to reach the ribs, exposing the abdominal muscles. These muscles are stretched and united in the midline, thus providing a strong abdominal wall and a more narrow waist.

The skin is stretched separate diression the pubis and removes excess skin gives, the navel is placed in his new position. Finally reaizan sutures and placed a bandage and a temporary drainage tube to remove excess fluid that can accumulate in the area intervened. In the mini-abdominoplasty, the skin is separated only between the incision and the navel, it removes excess skin and sutures are made.
