| Popis: | Background: Abdominoplasty is still among the most popular surgeries in the world of cosmetic surgery, as many modifications have been implemented on this surgery to improve aesthetics and reduce the ratio of complication, especially seroma. Also, the duration to drain removal increases the risk of infection, and this can be avoided by preserving the Scarpa’s fascia. Methods: The study was performed from January 2018 to December 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: group A with patients who were performed in Supra-Scarpa’s fascia abdominoplasty, and group B who were performed in traditional abdominoplasty; then group A was divided into two subgroups (A1 with caesarean history and A2 with no caesarean history) that differ in caesarean history or not, while a comparison was done between the groups regarding early outcomes. Results: A total of 40 full abdominoplasties were preformed (group A, 19 patients; group B, 21 patients); then group A was divided into two subgroups (group A1, 13 patients; A2, 6 patients); we found that the time until drain removal and its drain output in group A is less with a statistical significance, and the seroma was less to happen in group A with no statistical significance. However, the operative time in group A is higher with statistical significance. In the subgroups A1 and A2, there was no statistically significant difference in the results. Conclusion: Preservation of the Scarpa’s fascia reduces the time until drain removal, total drain output and the occurrence of seroma and the caesarean scar doesn’t affect the efficacy of preserving the Scarpa’s fascia. |
