What to do if there is a lipoma on the abdomen

Lipoma mainly refers to the fact that the body's fat cannot be completely degraded and is attached to the organs in the body. As time goes by, the fat will accumulate thicker and thicker, eventually affecting the normal metabolism of our organs, leading to lesions and the appearance of lipoma. This disease mainly occurs in people who usually eat greasy food, and the location of the lesions is also uncertain. If you find that you have a lipoma on your abdomen, you need to pay attention to various aspects of the problem.

What should I do if I have many lipomas on my stomach?

1. Traditional surgical resection: For those whose superficial lipoma affects their function, labor and aesthetics, surgery can be considered. Method: Under local anesthesia, cut the surface skin of the lipoma along the skin texture. Use curved hemostats to separate the tumor along the tumor capsule, and clamp and ligate all blood vessels seen. Lipomas are often multi-lobed and irregular in shape, and care should be taken to completely separate the lipoma tissue with the capsule. Use tissue forceps to lift the tumor, separate the base, and remove the tumor. After hemostasis, the incision was sutured in layers. After the operation, pay attention to properly bandaging the incision dressing and keep the wound dressing clean. When there is pain, you can take painkillers and other antipyretic and analgesic drugs. The stitches are removed 5-7 days after surgery. If the incision becomes infected, with local redness, swelling and tenderness, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

2. Laser surgery: Laser is currently a commonly used method for treating abdominal lipomas.

Preoperative preparation:

1. Laser has many uses in clinical resection, including surgical incision and photo-stripping. Depending on the characteristics of the tumor, a micro-incision can be used to cut the skin (either with a laser or a conventional scalpel), and then the ND:YAG laser blade can be used to enter through the small incision to cut the lipoma into lobes and remove it with forceps. Surgical preparation depends on the size of the tumor, but must be performed under strict aseptic technique.

2. For smaller lipomas, a venous incision kit is commonly used (containing 2 hemostatic forceps, 1 needle holder, 1 short flat forceps, 1 pair of 5ml empty needles, 1 scalpel handle, sutures and round and triangular suture needles, etc., and dressings include gauze, cotton balls, and 1 drape). For larger lipomas, two skin forceps, a retractor, several hemostatic forceps, and a disinfected middle and abdominal sheet should be prepared for use. Anesthesia: Local infiltration anesthesia is commonly used during surgery. Anesthetic solution can be injected more around the tumor. It plays a positive role in protecting tissues during laser peeling. 0.5-1% lidocaine is commonly used, and do not add epinephrine.

How to get rid of lipoma?

The only effective treatment is surgical resection. For multiple tumors, we can only choose to remove the ones with greater impact and more pain first. There is no cure yet. In recent years, some people have adopted liposuction, making a small incision on the skin and inserting a suction tube to remove larger lipomas or localized fat excess without leaving noticeable scars. Of course, this is also a local treatment.

The above is a detailed introduction on what to do if there are many lipomas on the abdomen and how to eliminate them. I believe that everyone will have a further understanding of how to effectively treat lipomas, which will definitely be of great help in future treatment processes.
