cholesistectomia scar, and BMI was 37. The
abdominal tissue defect was repairedby

Karın Germe Ameliyatı Kontrendikasyonlarının Gözden Geçirilmesi ve Komplike Olmuş Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Giriş: Abdominoplasti vücut şekillendirmede en popüler cerrahi işlemlerdendir. En sık görülen komplikasyonlar seroma ve yara iyileşme problemleridir. Bu çalışmada abdominoplasti kontrendikasyonları ile komplikasyon nedeniyle takip edilen bir olgunun sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
Olgu sunumu: 57 yaşında, hasta abdomen bölgesinde enfekte olmuş açık yara ile başvurdu. Hastanın 15 yıldır diyabet ve hipertansiyon nedeniyle tedavi gördüğü öğrenildi. Yapılan muayenesinde kolesistektomi skarının mevcut olduğu ve vücut kitle indeksinin 37 olduğu tespit edildi. Abdominoplasti sonrasında karın ön duvarında Enfeksiyon bulguları geriledikten sonra abdominal bölgedeki doku defekti greftlenerek defekt kapatımı yapıldı.
Tartışma: Vücut şekillendirmede rağbet görmesine rağmen abdominoplasti halen birçok komplikasyonu beraberinde getirebilen bir cerrahi prosedürdür. Bu nedenle hastaların iyi seçilmesi kontrendikasyonların ve göreceli kontrendikasyonların hasta eksenli düşünülerek hastanın özelliklerine göre endikasyon sınırlarının çizilmesi gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
