Liposuction Assisted Lipoma Removal – Option or Alternative?

BACKGROUND: Lipomas are the most frequent soft -tissue tumors arising from adipose tissue. Traditionally, open surgery is a mainstay of their treatment. Recently, new treatment modalities emerge in order to decrease morbidity, to increase satisfaction rate in patents, but not to raise recurrence risk at the same time.AIM: The aim of this article is to present our experience with liposuction assisted lipoma removal in terms of efficacy, complications, risk of recurrence and patient satisfaction.METHODS: The study was prospective in which treated lipomas with vacuum suction were analyzed. Preoperative diagnosis comprised clinical exam and additional diagnostic tools as to rule out malignancy. Subcutaneous lipomas with diameter of at least 5cm were taken into account. Tumescent liposuction technique with modification was used.RESULTS: Lipoma’s size, distribution and demographics are given. Total removal with affordable rate of complication was achieved in each case. No recurrences in 12 months follow-up period were seen. Satisfaction rate in patients was high.CONCLUSION: Liposuction assisted lipoma removal is a good alternative to open approach lipectomy and we would recommend its use in selected cases where, it might be more advantageous. However, prospective randomized controlled studies are needed in order to estimate its accurate clinical value

Mnoge organizacije su postale svjesne da njihova jačina, prije svega, ovisi o ljudskom kapitalu. Snaga suvremenog poduzeća se više ne ogleda u veličini, već u snazi ideja, u ljudima koji je čine, jakom menadžmentu, timskom radu, intelektualnom kapitalu, razvoju kadrova i kontinuiranom usavršavanju. Kvaliteta i prosperitet potiče se ulaganjem u formalne i neformalne edukacije s ciljem osnaženja ljudskog kapitala, koji doprinosi sveukupnom razvoju poduzeća, u skladu s trendovima u znanosti i u praksi. Najvažnije karakteristike organizacije, a onda i menadžmenta, su oblikovanje novih ideja, kreiranje inovacija, dijeljenje poslovnih iskustava, kreiranje poticajnog okruženja i timski rad. To su vrijednosti koje su rezultat intelektualnog kapitala te se one inkorporiraju u kulturu i procese poduzeća. Takvo poduzeće razvija stimulativno okruženje u kojem pojedinci i organizacija u cjelini povećava svoju kreativnost, inovacije i znanje, a intelektualni kapital postaje glavni resurs poduzeća koje kvalitetno upravlja znanjem i stvara dodanu vrijednost, koja može stvoriti konkurentsku prednost na tržištu.Many organizations have become aware that their strength, above all, depends on human capital. The strength of a modern company is no longer reflected in size, but in the power of ideas, in the people who think it up, strong management, teamwork, intellectual capital, staff development and continuous training. Quality and prosperity are encouraged by investing in formal and non-formal education to strengthen the human capital, which contributes to the overall development of the company, in correlation with knowledge and practice trends.
