[Plastic surgery in patients with obesity late after horizontal banded gastroplasty].

Abstract
The results of 361 plastic operations in 296 patients with morbid obesity late after horizontal gastroplasty were analyzed. Plastic and corrective operations aimed at removal of redundant lipocutaneous "aprons" at the anterior abdominal wall, thighs, thoracic wall, gluteal region and the arms, represent a final stage of surgical treatment of patients with morbid obesity. The indications, technique and the results of plastic operations performed from 1985 to 1998, are thoroughly elucidated. The analysis of early postoperative complications has established, that it a reasonable to perform such operations 1-3 years after gastroplasty when body weight stabilizes and there are no vitamin deficiency, iron deficient anemia, hypoproteinemia, hydroionic disturbances or other complications of the later period. Complex prophylactic measures for prevention of pyoseptic and thromboembolic complications in patients with obesity late after gastroplasty permits to avoid severe complications and lethal outcomes in patients after plastic operations.
