ABSTRACT
Tulip liposuction is a recent modification of the classical Mayo liposuction, which is done by suction apparatus consisting of large cannula, non collapsible wide bore tubing and a big suction device. Tulip liposuction is an entirely hand operated device comprising of special syringes, designed to fit snugly to thinner metallic cannula, with proximal ends shaped like a Tulip hence the Tulip liposuction. This modification has many advantages over the Mayo type. This paper presents the experience 110 cases of liposuction in Bangladesh. The study was carried out at different hospitals in Dhaka from December 1997 to February 2001. One hundred ten patients underwent this procedure. Of them hundred and one were carried out for cosmetic reasons. The other nine for extraction of lipomas. The age range was 21 to 49 years. Twenty four were males and eighty six were females. Sixty seven patients received spinal anesthesia and thirty nine patients received general anaesthesia. Only four cases were done under local anaesthesia. Hyaluronidase, adrenaline and normal saline were injected in the subcutaneous fat. A small stab incision was made and then fat was aspirated. No stitches were required. Complications were minimal and insignificant.

Escogimos para este estudio los pacientes con alteración en el nivel de conciencia, para cuya determinación utilizamos la Escala de Coma de Glasgow. la incidencia del hematoma intracreaneal en los pacientes con fractura lineal fue de 67% en los caos en que la Escala demostró que era < ou = 9 y de 25% demostró que era de > ou = 10. La mortalidad fue de 85% en los casos con Escala de Coma de Glasgow de < ou = 9 y de 4%, en los casos de > ou 10
