A member asked:
Can you tell me how are the risks of performing an intra-abdominal liposuction not the same as omentectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liposuction: Liposuction is not (intentionally) done intra-abdominally. This would likely result in intestinal perforation or organ injury. Omentectomy - which is the traditional surgical removal of the fatty omentum - does not involve the use of liposuction equipment, but rather more standard surgical methods.
