Incisional herniorrhaphy associated to abdominoplasty after gastroplasty

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Incisional hernias resulting from gastroplasty are a frequent occurrence, requiring planning, surgical technique and patient compliance after surgery for an appropriate outcome. Objective: To demonstrate the treatment of incisional hernias in combination with dermolipectomy (anchor or classic) and pubic lifting, performed in 62 patients undergoing Roux-Y gastroplasty by open surgery and videolaparoscopy.

Methods:

This is a retrospective, crosssectional study, based on the analysis of 382 patient records. Study plan, strategy, surgical techniques and results will be described.

Results:

Success was obtained in all cases, with no incidence of hernia recurrence.

Conclusion:

The approach was effective, easily reproducible, with low complication rates.
