METHOD OF COMPLETE ABDOMINOPLASTY Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to plastic surgery. Soft tissue thinning zone is marked in a supraumbilical region. Area of formation of the dermal-fat flap is marked in the hypogastric area corresponding to the size of soft tissue thinning in the supraumbilical region.

Then navel is separated and mobilization of dermal-adipose flap of anterior abdominal wall to costal arches is continued. Rectal abdominis muscle aponeurosis is repaired, as well as a removal of skin-fat excesses. Dermal-fat flap is fixed in soft tissue thinning zone by applying U-shaped sutures between the formed dermal-fat flap and abdominal rectus muscle aponeurosis. Umbilical cord is moved to a new position. Wound is closed and drained.
