C. Cannistra et E. Pecorelli, Umbilical restoration in abdominal dermolipectomy: A simple double-Y, double-M technique, AES PLAS SU, 23(5), 1999, pp. 364-366
The authors present a simple technique for restoration of the umbilicus in
abdominal dermolipectomy. This procedure is represented by a double-Y cutan
eous incision an the abdominal skin and by a double-M cutaneous incision on
the umbilical skin. This technique restores a neoumbilicus with multiple s
mall skin flaps and conceals the periumbirical scar at the bottom of the um
bilicus. Different designs and figures are proposed to explain the procedur
e.
