Use of a tourniquet in panniculus resection

J L Daw et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1997 Jun.

Abstract

The tourniquet technique is simple and provides an efficacious method for panniculectomy. Time spent during surgery and anesthesia can be offered. Furthermore, less fat necrosis can be anticipated because of the reduced use of electrocautery, which in turn should decrease the risk of seroma formation and infection.
