Abstrakt:	Surgical correction of abdominal muscle diastasis may decrease intra-abdominal volume and increase intra-abdominal pressure. The induced changes may ultimately lead to respiratory compromise. In abdominoplasty, one of the most frequently performed esthetic procedures, those changes are believed to be transient and clinically insignificant. We describe a case where acute change in respiratory physiology after abdominoplasty led to severe respiratory failure with significantly decreased pulmonary compliance in a young and otherwise healthy patient. In this case mechanical ventilation failed to improve compliance, and reversal of abdominoplasty was required to restitute pulmonary function. Competing Interests: None.
