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, cross-sectional 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.
