Abstract (original English)
An ever-increasing demand for liposuction and fat transplantation procedures in the United States reflects their continued safety and clinical effectiveness. Technical breakthroughs, such as the utilization of tumescent infiltration and fat separation techniques, have been instrumental in optimizing outcomes but add time to the surgical procedure. Simultaneous separation and tumescence (SST) is a new technique combining these innovations to further improve safety and efficiency in liposuction. The authors describe their technique for utilizing SST on more than 1200 patients spanning a 6-year period. A split abdomen study was designed to compare the vasoconstrictive effectiveness of SST with traditional Klein infiltration techniques. A quantification perfusion analysis utilizing indocyanine green angiography was performed on 4 patients to illustrate the vasoconstrictive effectiveness of SST over traditional Klein infiltration techniques. A mean relative vasoconstriction score was calculated relative to the umbilicus for each technique. Compared with traditional Klein tumescence techniques, SST has a similar complication rate, utilizes similar infiltrative volumes, and increases vasoconstriction (mean 89.6% SST hemiabdomen vs 48.1% Klein hemiabdomen at 2 minutes, P < 0.0001). SST represents a novel, long-overdue departure from Klein tumescence, which has been a valuable mainstay
