Although ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) has many similarities to conventional liposuction, it is a new technology, and it is important that not only operating room (OR) staff but also office personnel be familiar with the technique, the machinery, and the important safety considerations for appropriate implementation of UAL. UAL is a safe procedure when performed properly. The better the OR personnel understand the necessary safeguards and the reasons for them, the better they can function with the surgeon as a team to provide a system of double checking and vigilance and maintain an efficient environment with a perfect safety record.
尽管超声辅助脂肪抽吸术（UAL）与传统抽脂术有许多相似之处，但它是一项新技术，不仅手术室（OR）工作人员，办公室人员也熟悉该技术、设备以及正确实施UAL的重要安全注意事项，这一点很重要。如果操作得当，UAL是一种安全的手术。手术室人员对必要的安全措施及其原因理解得越好，他们就越能与外科医生作为一个团队更好地协作，提供一个双重检查和保持警惕的系统，并维持一个有着完美安全记录的高效环境。
