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
      • Inconsistent results with regard to sparing of post-op opioids [11][12]
      • Better pain control [11]
    • 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
      • Limited studies have been completed for paravertebral, rectus sheet, iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal [20][21] blocks, can possibly be used/helpful

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
