Abstract

We aimed to present the phenomenon of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and abdominoplasty which we diagnosed at the same period the abdominal laxation, diastase of rectum and cholelithiasis that we think in the literature the first samples without leaving any trocar entrance mark.A 58 year old female patient has consulted to the polyclinic of plastic surgery due to prolapsus on the abdominal region. Gall bladder multiplestones were ascertained through abdominal ultrasonograpy. On request and to provide minimal cosmetic failure to the patient, cholecystectomy and abdominoplasty is performed at the same session. Patients with abdominal pathologies that may occur after operations requiring surgery such as abdominoplasty very serious impact on cosmetics. Concordantly, we strongly suggest to take abdominal USG, even if there is no additional complaints especially before the plastic surgery operations and abdominoplasty, for ascertain the existent patologies.
