Simultaneous abdominoplasty with scar-less laporoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

With abdominoplasty, loosening and sagging problems caused by excessive weight loss are corrected. After bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the frequency of gallstone formation increases compared to the normal population due to rapid weight loss. Even if the patient is asymptomatic, it is important to perform an abdominal ultrasound examination of all patients who admit for abdominoplasty, especially following postoperative weight loss for morbid obesity. In this study, we tried to state that scarless laparoscopic cholecystectomy and abdominoplasty can be performed safely.
