Title
[Surgical treatment of lipoedema].
Abstract
Although liposuction of lipoedema is a well-established therapeutic option in plastic and reconstructive surgery, the commonly known operative protocols vary widely between clinics. A precise summary of all described protocols and a critical evaluation have not been published to date. This review aims to create a basic structure for future Standard Operative Protocols (SOPs) in the surgical treatment of lipoedema. For that purpose, 140 publications on therapeutic approaches concerning lipoedema have been reviewed and systematically categorized. The results indicate fundamental differences in treatment strategies as well as minor differences in organizational management.
