简要总结
Brachioplasty is a popular plastic surgery procedure. Current and common various techniques are based on either surgeon 's sense preoperatively. A method is needed to define how much skin and soft tissue should be excised precisely, or what can be a reference point to design a brachioplasty mathematically.(1)
Anthropometric reference measurements can be applied in designing arm aesthetic surgery.
Classically, anthropometry binds the upper arm length with forearm circumference and upper arm circumference to make postoperative results more harmonious and natural . (2)a 2020).
详细描述
2.4.1- Type of the study: 2.4. 2- Study Setting: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department, Assuit University Hospital 2.4. 3- Study subjects:
a. Inclusion criteria:
- Group (A) this group will be available for measurements only with no interventions needed.
- Group (B) Include patients asking for arm aesthetic surgery .
- Group B1: patients will be submitted for liposuction only. liposuction is the preferred approach, particularly in young patients after massive weight loss.
- Group B2: patients will be submitted for liposuction and brachioplasty in same setting. When skin laxity is excessive, even in young patients, an extensive arm-long operation that extends across the axilla and onto the lateral chest is indicated.
- Group B3: patients will be submitted for liposuction then brachioplasty after 3 months.
in borderline cases to take chance for skin retraction .
c. Sample Size Calculation: sample size was calculated using g power program version 3.1.9.7 in order to detect anthropometric measures of arm and compare these measures with post operative cases, assumed effect size 0.8 based on clinical assumption (novel study) , α error 0.2 power 0.8 and allocation 1:1:1 the sample size will be 40 patients for each group. 2.4.4 -Study tools (in detail, e.g., lab methods, instruments, steps, chemicals, ...): Group (A) will be subjected to these measures
