The Impact of the Menstrual Cycle on Intraoperative and Postoperative Bleeding in Abdominoplasty Patients

  • Chapter
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of the Abdomen

  • 2094 Accesses

Abstract

Certain surgical procedures including abdominoplasty are associated with a significant amount of blood loss. In this chapter, we are presenting the literature review and a specific study regarding the effect of the menstrual cycle on the amount of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in abdominoplasty patients. The results of this study suggest that considering the patient’s menstrual date is not of vital importance regarding perioperative blood loss when planning surgery for areas that are not directly affected by menstrual hormonal changes. Patients can also be informed that it is not necessary to postpone the operation during menstruation in the case of such surgeries.
