How We Do It: Narrow Hole Extrusion Technique for Lipoma Removal

Abstract

Subcutaneous lipomas are benign, slow-growing tumors of adipose tissue. The goal of removal is to achieve complete extirpation with optimal cosmesis. Given the inherent features of these subcutaneous lesions, complete extirpation can consistently be achieved through very small incisions, a technique known as narrow hole extrusion technique.
