title: [Launois Bensaude disease. Focus apropos of 16 cases].
abstract: After a review of the clinical, pathological and aetiological features, the authors describe the various surgical techniques used (conventional surgery or liposuction) to restore a normal social life to these patients, deformed by their disease. They confirm the predominant role of conventional surgery and define the limited indications in which liposuction can be used. Based on a review of 16 cases, the surgeon must make sure that the patient has ceased his or her alcohol abuse before performing this difficult treatment associated with a number of complications.
