Analysis of the effectiveness and safety of electrodissection modes in lipoabdominoplasty

Introduction. Lipoabdominoplasty is a combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty aimed at improving the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the anterior abdominal wall. One of the key aspects of successful surgery is the choice of the electrodissection method. This study is devoted to a comparative analysis of the efficacy and safety of various electrodissection modes in lipoabdominoplasty. Materials and methods. The study involved 90 patients who underwent lipoabdominoplasty using various electrodissection modes: monopolar coagulation, monopolar cutting and Valleylab mode. Patients were equally distributed between the groups, and the effectiveness was assessed by the duration of surgery, blood loss, hospital stay, and the incidence of postoperative complications. Treatment results. Data analysis showed that the group using the Valleylab mode tended to have fewer complications, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays. These patients recovered faster, which may be due to the more gentle and precise effect of this mode on tissues. Conclusion. The choice of the electrodissection method plays an important role in reducing the incidence of complications and improving the results of lipoabdominoplasty. Although the differences in the incidence of seromas and hematomas between the studied groups did not reach statistical significance, the trend towards better results in the Valleylab group indicates that its use is promising. Further studies will help to clarify the advantages of this method and optimize surgical technique.
