Abstract
Background. Obesity is a condition of abnormal accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. Central obesity has been firmly confirmed as a risk factor for increasing the incidence of coronary heart diseases, some skin disease, incisional hernia and more operational hemorrhage. Purpose. This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-cavitation therapy versus Tripollar-radiofrequency on abdominal obesity in pre-abdominal surgical patients. Material and Methods. Thirty participants with visceral adiposity divided to two groups; Group (A) include fifteen patients received Ultrasound-cavitation therapy (40k-Hz) for 30 min. once/week plus aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 30 min. 3 times\week) plus low calorie diet program. Group (B) includes fifteen patients managed by Tripollar-radiofrequency (1 MHz) for 30 min. once/week in addition to aerobic exercises (walking on treadmill for 30 min. three times/week) plus low calorie diet program. All individuals in the two groups were evaluated by Waist circumference and skin fold thickness before and after the treatment. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that the skin fold thickness by skin caliper and the waist circumference by tape measurement have reduced at the end of treatment in the both groups but the higher reduction in WC & skin fold thickness were in the ultrasound-cavitation group compared to radiofrequency group Conclusion. Ultrasound cavitation is more effective than Tripolar radiofrequency in decreasing fat mass in abdominal obesity.
