Resumen
RINCON-RUBIO, Linda L et al. Evaluation of histopathological changes secondary to bariatric surgery. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.44, n.4, pp.379-387. Epub 08-Feb-2021. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922018000400007.
Background and Objective
The physiological stimuli, such as massive weight loss, provide cellular adaptations in which a new balance that preserves cell viability is reached, what is known as cellular adaptive changes.
Our hypothesis in this study was: can we show fisiomorfológic cellular, histological and immunohistochemical adaptive changes suffered by the skin and fat of patients with massive weight loss?
Methods
An experimental, descriptive, prospective and comparative case-control study was conducted on a random sample divided into 2 groups: A, postbariátric patients and B, no postbariatric patients.
Results
Skin samples from postbariátric patients showed changes in the epithelium, collagen, dermis and fat cells.
Conclusions
Cellular adaptive changes in the skin and fat of patients with massive weight loss are shown. These data improve our medical and surgical approach in finding minor complications with better aesthetic results when these patients undergo a body contouring surgery.
