No, there is no association in performing a TT and the possibility of creating an ischemic bowel.
Thank you for your question. The answer to this is basically, no. However, because with a traditional abdominoplasty or tummy tuck the abdominal muscles are tightened, depending on how thin the fascia or abdominal wall is to start, there is always a potential of the surgeon going to deep and penetrating the abdominal cavity. Also, with liposuction, because of the nature of the cannula, there is a potential that the abdominal cavity can be pierced. Does this happen often by well-trained, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons? Absolutely not. But, since you asked, these are the potential scenarios.
