Abdominoplasty is a surgery done to remove excess fat, skin, and repair rectus diastasis to help improve health and appearance. This can occur after a person undergoes massive weight loss. Depending on physical examination findings, several procedures can be done, including mini-abdominoplasty, traditional abdominoplasty, circumferential, high lateral tension, Fleur-de-lis, and reverse abdominoplasty[1].
Overview
Indications
Excess fat, skin, and abdominal wall weakness [1].
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation [1]
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Airway | obesity |
| Cardiovascular/Pulmonary | cardiac conditions, OSA |
| Gastrointestinal | IBS, constipation, previous abdominal surgeries, abdominal scarring |
| Genitourinary | C-sections, desire for future pregnancy, abdominal scarring |
| Hematologic | bleeding/clotting disorders, history of bleeding/clotting |
| Endocrine | T2DM, hormone use |
| Other | smoking status, A1C |
Operating room setup [1]
IV antibiotics 30-59 min before the incision
SCDs (DVT prophylaxis)
Avoid intraoperative hypothermia
Patient preparation and premedication
IV antibiotics 30-59 min before the incision
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Conscious Sedation + Tumescent Technique [2][3][4]
- Appears to be safe
- May have a lower risk of DVT compare to general anesthesia
- Tumescent local infiltration anesthesia also helps with post-op pain [4][5]
- Increased risk of respiratory depression, usually resolves with simple stimulation
- Increased fentanyl use is associated with longer stay in recovery unit [6]
- Neuraxial Techniques
- Useful when the patient has higher risk cardiac complications, respiratory complications, malignant hyperthermia (HM), and rhabdomyolysis from anesthesia [7].
- Spinal, epidural or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia can be used [7][8][9]
- Safely provide adequate pain control in high risk GA patients
- Decreased needs for post-op opiates
- Patients able to ambulate in shorter amount of time (better DVT prevention)
- Regional techniques
- Decreased time in recovery room, postoperative narcotics, postoperative nausea and vomiting[10]
- Quadratus lumborum (QL) block
- Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block [13][14][15][16][17]
- Decreased postoperative opioid use
- Early ambulation
- Possibly less effective in post-bariatric surgery patient due to more traumatic operation [17]
- Erector spinae plane block [18]
- Decreased postoperative opioid use
- Early ambulation
- Combined intercostal and pararectus blocks [19]
- Decreased postoperative opioid use
- Decreased time in recovery room
- Others
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- Standard ASA monitors
Induction and airway management
- Standard induction
Positioning
- Supine
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Standard maintenance
- Maintain normothermia
Emergence
- Smooth emergence to minimize tension on the suture line
- PONV prophylaxis
Postoperative management
Disposition [1]
PACU
- Early ambulation is mandatory
- Drain maintenance
- Rest in flexed position (>30 degrees head of bed elevation)
- Abdominal binder
Pain management
- IV narcotics with possible regional anesthesia techniques as described above
Potential major complications [1]
DVT/PE, respiratory compromise, abdominal compartment syndrome, systemic infections
