Endoscopic subcutaneous approach to component separation
This video describes the endoscopic subcutaneous approach to component separation. Emphasis is made in preoperative skin marking of the semilunar line under ultrasonic guidance. In our early experience we find the technique feasible, reproducible and ergo Keyword(s): balloon trocar, semilunar line, ultrasonic device, US
