  • Title: Periumbilical Perforator-Sparing Abdominoplasty in Patients With Abdominal Scars.
    Author: Lam JS, Nguyen D, Walters JA, Khoobehi K.
    Journal: Ann Plast Surg; 2018 Jul; 81(1):18-21. PubMed ID: 29620552.
    Abstract:
    Abdominoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures. Patients who undergo abdominoplasties with abdominal scars are at an increased risk for skin necrosis and wound breakdown. To prevent further disruption of vascularity, the dissection and mobilization is often limited resulting in a suboptimal esthetic result. The periumbilical perforator-sparing technique allows for vascular preservation and adequate mobilization to produce excellent esthetic results in patients with abdominal scars.
