Abdominoplasty is a frequently performed elective procedure, often indicated for patients after substantial weight loss resulting in significant redundant skin. Closing techniques and the lifting of the mons pubis during abdominoplasty have been proposed to alleviate symptoms of stress urinary incontinence by elevating and supporting the urethra. Despite these observations, the impact of abdominoplasty on pelvic anatomy and subsequent endoscopic procedures remains underexplored and underreported. We present a case where cystoscope passage as part of endoscopic laser lithotripsy for nephrolithiasis was impeded by altered anatomy in a patient with a history of Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty.
腹壁成形术是一种常施行的择期手术,常用于体重显著减轻后出现大量皮肤冗余的患者。有人提出在腹壁成形术中采用闭合技术并抬高耻骨联合,以通过抬高和支撑尿道来缓解压力性尿失禁症状。尽管有这些观察结果,但腹壁成形术对盆腔解剖结构以及后续内镜手术的影响仍未得到充分研究和报道。我们报告一例病例,一名有改良百合花形腹壁成形术病史的患者,其盆腔解剖结构改变导致作为肾结石内镜激光碎石术一部分的膀胱镜插入受阻。
