Does tension suture technique combined with lidocain-adrenalin-saline-infiltration decrease complications in abdominoplasty?
The operative time was 82 minutes ranging from 45 to 173 minutes. Peroperative bleeding was a mean of 196 ml in abdominoplasty only and 254 ml when combined with additional operation. Patients did not have any major complications and the total incidence of minor--not clinically significant--complications was 12.6%. Obesity, smoking, comorbidities, previous operations on belly area or additional operations did not affect the complication rates. Our study supports the view that the tension suture technique combined with lidocain-adrenalin-saline-infiltration decrease the formation of seroma and wound complications in abdominoplasty. Lidocain-adrenalin-saline-infiltration also fastens and eases the operation without increasing the risk of bleeding in experienced hands.
