| Abstract: | Background Panniculus morbidus is characterized by an edematous, painful hanging abdominal mass, due to laxity and redundancy of the abdominal skin in morbid obesity, particularly after massive weight loss. Panniculectomy, by wedge resection, is a salvage procedure with high satisfaction rates though associated with high complication rates. Here we investigated the effects of perioperative complex decongestive physical therapy (CDP) on outcome and complication rates. |
