Impact of hypertonic and hyperoncotic saline solutions on ischemia-reperfusion injury in free flaps.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There continues to be controversy about performing abdominoplasty concurrently with abdominal liposuction. The concern is that liposuction on the already vascularly compromised abdominal flap will lead to increased complications and flap necrosis. The central abdomen is supplied by the epigastric system. If ...
