“…(16,17) Lower extremity varicosities are also a potential source of thrombotic material leading to pulmonary embolisms that are directly hazardous to the patient in the course of any other conditions or surgeries (also in cosmetic surgery) requiring patient's immobilization. (19) Varicosities are a serious cosmetic defect and are particularly noticeable in women. (16) Surgical treatment is expected to be not only radical but also aesthetic.…”

Varicosities occur in 1.8% of women and in 1.1% of men at age 30-39 years. They may cause serious complications such as inflammantion of superficial veins, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. Only surgery can give satisfactory therapeutic and cosmetic results. The use of cryosurgery in surgical treatment of lower-extremity varicosities considerably increases the surgeon's potential. The use of cryosurgical probe shortens the procedure and enables removal of varicosities through a single incision. An indisputable advantage of cryosurgery in the treatment of lower extremity varicosities is its effectiveness and excellent cosmetic effect. 123

COMMITTEE STATEMENT: At the 69th annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in October of 2000, the ASPS Board of Directors convened the Task Force on Patient Safety in Office-Based Surgery Facilities. The task force was assembled in the wake of several highly publicized patient deaths involving plastic surgery and increasing state legislative and regulatory activity of office-based surgery facilities. In response to the increased scrutiny of the office-based surgery setting, the task force produced two practice advisories: "Procedures in the Office-Based Surgery Setting" and "Patient Selection in the Office-Based Surgery Setting." Since the task force's inception, professional and public awareness of patient safety issues has continued to grow. This heightened interest resulted in an increased need for plastic surgeons to communicate their views on the topic. To meet this challenge, the task force evolved into the Committee on Patient Safety, allowing the committee to address topics affecting the safety and welfare of plastic surgery patients, regardless of the facility setting. The "Practice Advisory on Liposuction" is the first advisory developed since the committee was formed. It was a lengthy and painstaking process for the committee, which included representatives from related plastic surgery organizations as well as the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Committee members included Ronald E. Iverson, M.D., chair; Jeffery L. Apfelbaum, M.D., ASA representative; Bruce L. Cunningham, M.D., ASPS/Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation (PSEF) Joint Outcomes Task Force representative; Richard A. D'Amico, M.D., ASPS representative; Victor L. Lewis, Jr., M.D., ASPS Health Policy Analysis Committee representative; Dennis J. Lynch, M.D., ASPS representative; Noel B. McDevitt, M.D., ASPS Deep Vein Thrombosis Task Force representative; Michael F. McGuire, M.D., The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) representative; Louis Morales, Jr., M.D., American Society of Maxillofacial Surgeons representative; Calvin R. Peters, M.D., Florida Ad Hoc Commission on Patient Safety representative; Robert Singer, M.D., American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities representative; Thomas Ray Stevenson, M.D., American College of Surgeons representative; Rebecca S. Twersky, M.D., ASA representative; Ronald H. Wender, M.D., ASA representative; and James A. Yates, ASAPS representative. The authors thank members of the committee for the insights they brought to this process. The final document represents their significant contributions to these efforts. They would also like to recognize DeLaine Schmitz and Pat Farrell of the ASPS staff for their work on and support of this project.

“…Cette technique a pour objectif à la fois d'assurer une anesthésie locale ainsi qu'une diminution du saignement peropératoire. Même si certaines études montrent que malgré des doses importantes de lidocaïne (de l'ordre, soit de 10 à 34 mg/kg [32][33][34][35]), les concentrations sériques restent en dessous des seuils toxiques entre six à 16 heures après l'administration, l'incidence des complications graves n'est pas nulle. En effet, aux États-Unis sur une période de quatre ans comprise entre 1994 et 1998, l'incidence des complications graves était de 1/5000 [36], dans une étude plus récente réali-sée sur deux ans l'incidence globale était de 8,4/1 000 000 mais elle passait à 1/3281 si une plastie abdominale était associée à la liposuccion [37].…”
