GABILONDO ZUBIZARRETA, F.J. et al. Morbid obesity: an exceptional patient. Apronectomy and new abdominal wall reconstruction. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.3, pp.209-218. ISSN 1989-2055.
The aim of this work is to show a new technique for reconstruction of the abdominal wall with synthetic matherial in a patient with morbid obesity. The disease has no relation with antecedents of previous surgery or trauma and is asociated with a dyasthasis of the rectus abdomini muscles which has conditionated a intestinal evisceration.This evisceration is accommodated in the abdominal apron and is associated with a great accumulation of fluid (liquid) in the interstitium, which seems a linphedema. Taking account the combination of liquid and soft tissues the resection is larger than 60 Kg. and this has forced us to develop new strategies for the menagement of the patient and techniques for the reconstruction of the abdominal wall defect.
