Predicting safety duringabdominal musculo-aponeuroticlaxity repair by intra-operative monitoring of the Peak Inspiratory Pressure
Abdominoplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. Rectus plication in
the repair of abdominal wall laxity as a main step in abdominoplasty causes extrinsic compression of the
abdominal content and elevation of intra-abdominal pressure. Many methods were described to indirectly
measure the intra-abdominal pressure, one of which is the peak inspiratory pressure. This study shows the
efficiency of using the peak inspiratory pressure as a monitor during abdominal wall laxity repair. It also
shows the safety of combined vertical plication of the rectus sheath and transverse plication of the
anterolateral abdominal wall muscles in abdominal wall laxity repair.
Keywords: Abdominoplasty - Abdominal wall laxity – peak inspiratory pressure – intra-abdominal
pressure.
