Abstract

Abdominoplasty with liposuction (Lipoabdominoplasty) is increasingly developing and has many important improvements to avoid reducing post-operative complications. In 2001, Saldanha published the Saldanha technique based on the principle of preserver abdominal wall vascular anatomy through the preservation of the perforating vessels, helping to solve the problems of the classic abdominoplasty such as minimizing post-operative complications such as necrosis, seroma, hematoma... This technique has been widely applied in Vietnam but there are not many practice reports. We reported 2 cases of abdominoplasty using the Saldanha technique at Hospital of Post and Telecommunications and analyze the principles of this technique based on abdominal wall vascular anatomy.
