Abstract

The traditional abdominoplasty showed increase in the incidence of seroma than Scarpas fascia preservation abdominoplasty. The study showed no relation between degree of abdominal deformity and the time of drain removal, the p value is not significant. The study showed no relation between degree of abdominal deformity (excess adipose tissue) and the time of drain removal, the p value is not significant. The relation between age and time of removal of drain showed non-significant weak positive correlation. There is increase in the incidence of complication in group (A) as seroma and wound infection more than in group (B). The insignificant p value may be either due to the absence of actual difference or due to the small number of the sample. The lymphatic vessels of anterior abdominal wall could be visualized to be drained into supra Scarpa lymphatic ending at the inguinal lymph node till the level of the umbilicus at the same time lymphatics of the central part of the anterior abdominal wall drained along the perforator down to the rectus muscle. These results pointed out that there is positive correlation to the lower incidence of seroma in scarpas fascia preservation abdominoplasty than traditional.
