“…One study discouraged ABP combined with cesarean delivery due to increased complications and unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes [17]. More recently, most groups believe that a combined ABP-HYS is safe and does not have any increase in complication rates when compared to ABP and HYS on separate dates [1,[6][7][8][9][10]. One study even showed that concurrent ABP and panniculectomy with pelvic surgery in the morbidly obese had a lower incidence of wound infection and blood loss than pelvic surgery alone [18].…”

“…Certain groups have reported that the combined procedure resulted in increased complications, particularly in an increased incidence of pulmonary embolus [2][3][4][5]. More recently, others have indicated that ABP-HYS is safe and does not result in an increase in complication rates when compared to ABP and HYS on separate dates [1,[6][7][8][9][10]. Additionally, it has been shown that the combined procedure can allow greater operative exposure, thus aiding the gynecologic surgeon [11].…”

“…An umbilical or incisional hernia usually does not affect the choice of surgical procedure but may impact the complexity and length of the procedure, potentially increasing the risks as well. [37][38][39][40][41] Hernia repair in conjunction with an abdominotorso contour procedure may impact the viability of the umbilicus (see case 2), and when a ventral hernia is repaired, it may impede the quality of the diastasis repair.…”

There has been tremendous growth in the number of patients seeking body contouring procedures after massive weight loss. Most patients desire improvement of the abdominotorso region first. After massive weight loss, there is enormous variability of body proportions, and therefore there have been many surgical options proposed based on the quality of the skin, subcutaneous fat component, and location of the lax tissue. Each area needs to be assessed to see whether there is a significant lower abdominal component, an upper midline abdominal component, or contributions from the buttocks and flanks. An algorithm for treatment is presented to simplify the decision-making process. Patient examples are also shown to demonstrate the usefulness of the algorithm.

“…However, they did note a significantly higher incidence of minor complications in smokers, diabetic or hypertensive patients (microangiopathy). Gemperli et al 12 reported only 2 minor complications with no wound infection in a series of 103 patients that underwent a combined abdominoplasty with gynecologic procedure (34 TAH).…”

Combined surgeries eliminate the need for 2 anesthetics and 2 hospitalizations, the postoperative period of convalescence is no longer than for either procedure alone, and the total cost is reduced significantly. However, the safety of combining procedures is an unanswered question. We present 15 patients that underwent combined abdominoplasty with total abdominal hysterectomy from January 1992 to July 2002. A retrospective chart review was performed; surgical reports were analyzed, along with subsequent clinical follow-up notes. One patient had a wound infection that required hospitalization, drainage, and intravenous antibiotics. Four patients had minor complications. Patients' satisfaction with the esthetic and functional results of combined procedures has been impressive. Our experience confirms the basic safety of the combined surgery when done on appropriately selected patients. These results are discussed in respect to the current literature.
