Abdominal contouring in super obese patients: a single-surgeon review of 22 cases.

abstract：:A patient affected by a voluminous synovial sarcoma of mediastinum received radical surgery, resulting in injury of both phrenic nerves. Because of the cancer location, reconstruction of the left phrenic nerve was not possible, so to prevent the patient's ventilator dependence, the right phrenic nerve was reconstructe...
