“…They have realized that both panniculus morbidus and gastrointestinal hernias can be effectively managed concomitantly with a panniculectomy. Hence, ultimately patient's quality of life is improved, pain is reduced, mobility is improved and future weight loss is facilitated (Winicki et al, 2022). Juarez M. Avelar has realized that an abdominoplasty procedure that combines resection of excess skin with lipoplasty but without panniculus undermining or resection (Avelar, 2002).…”

“…The only two alternatives are present before these patients: i) to live/die with the mass or ii) to undergo resection (Friedrich et al, 2008). Panniculus can be removed through the abdominal panniculectomy that is clearly a palliative, salvage procedure for morbidly obese patients (Winicki et al, 2022).…”

“…Sometimes lymphoedema is seen in the abdominal wall, where panniculus morbidus is developed and it is a rare entity (Fadel et al, 2017). Abdominal skin redundancy may occur among obese women after pregnancy (Winicki et al, 2022).…”

“…Panniculus morbidus; sometimes calls abdominal elephantiasis, is a rare end stage complication of abdominal obesity. The excess abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue induced by severe lymphedema, hang from the abdomen below the waistline, even may hang nearly to the knees or lower even to the floor (Winicki et al, 2022).…”

At present panniculus morbidus becomes a cause of various physical complications, such as chronic cellulitis, skin rashes, intertriginous dermatitis, subcutaneous abscesses, folliculitis, skin ulcerations, fistulas, and ischemic panniculitis. Panniculus is seemed as an apron of an extremely large fold of excess skin, tissue, and fat hanging from the abdomen below the waistline and even down to the groin. It is extremely unsightly, painful, and susceptible to various infections. It is found in people who are severely obese, after extreme weight loss (usually 100 pounds or more) through the diet, fasting, and exercise or following gastric restrictive surgery. Medicine, exercise, diet or any other mechanism cannot cure panniculus morbidus; and in this stage, bariatric surgery is needed for the welfare of the panniculus patients.

“…Obesity is related to short-and long-term morbidities, such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, certain types of cancer, Alzheimer disease, asthma, osteoarthritis, metabolic syndrome, musculoskeletal disorders, liver steatosis, gallbladder disease, obstructive sleep apnea, hypercholesterolemia, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes (Mohajan & Mohajan, 2023a). In a severely obese person, excess adipose tissue hanging downward from the abdomen is referred to as a panniculus or pannus which seem like an "apron of skin" that cannot be effectively corrected through diet and exercise alone; needs a surgery to cure (Winicki et al, 2022).…”

The minimal amount of body fat is necessary for normal physiological functions that manages body temperature, creates energy to perform all the physical activities, and protects the organs of human body. Storage body fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Total body fat in human body is the sum of essential fat and storage fat. At present body fat percentage is considered as one of the most accurate obesity evaluation tools. To determine body fat accurately the clinicians should use the most appropriate, accurate, and accessible strategies available in the scientific research area. Accurate measurement of body fat and lean body is essential for the nutrition assessment, and an individual’s overall health and well-being. In this study some measurement processes are discussed to determine body fat percentage (BFP) properly of a person by the analysis of two compartment model: fat mass and fat free mass.
