Panniculectomy

This patient suffered from extreme amount of excess abdominal tissue and overhang interfering with her daily functioning, ongoing skin ulcerations and rashes. She underwent a functional panniculectomy, removing only the overhanging abdominal tissue during which time a hernia repair was performed as well as a tumor resection in her pelvis. This was a reconstructive amputation of the lower abdominal tissue, not a cosmetic tummy tuck. She did amazing and can function much better now.
