Flores LRP et al. Cirurgia pós-bariátrica do tronco superior: abdominoplastia em "Y" The "Y" pattern postbariatric surgery upper trunk reshaping RESUMO Introdução: Após grande perda de peso, observa-se flacidez de pele em várias regiões do corpo. O abdome com grande excesso de pele necessita da combinação de incisões mistas para correção desta flacidez com maior eficiência. Contudo, as incisões clássicas em âncora permitem o tratamento do abdome médio e inferior, entretanto não corrigem satisfatoriamente a flacidez epigástrica residual em alguns pacientes. Método: Seis pacientes previamente operadas de dermolipectomia abdominal em âncora e que mantinham flacidez epigástrica residual e mamária realizaram a mamoplastia com pedículo inferior associada à dermolipectomia reversa em âncora no mesmo ato operatório. Com seguimento mínimo pós-operatório de três meses, foram feitas avaliações desta nova técnica, quanto ao tempo de recuperação do paciente, viabilidade da técnica cirúrgica, complicações intra e pósoperatórias, características das cicatrizes, adequada correção da flacidez epigástrica e da ptose mamária e satisfação do paciente. Resultados: As cirurgias foram realizadas sem complicações intra-operatórias. As incisões utilizadas permitiram exposição adequada do campo operatório e facilidade no tratamento das estruturas abordadas com pequeno acréscimo à cicatriz da mastopexia na região esternal. Os pacientes apresentaram expressiva melhora do contorno corporal na região epigástrica e satisfatória correção da ptose mamária. Todos se mostraram satisfeitos com o resultado. Conclusão: A abordagem permitiu o tratamento da flacidez abdominal em epigástrio e correção da ptose mamária, com resultados satisfatórios, seguros e reprodutíveis para os pacientes com grandes perdas ponderais.

SUMMARY Introduction: After massive weight loss, there is a large amount of undesirable soft-tissue in many parts of the body. The breasts and the abdomen are usually the prioritary regions to be treated. However, the satisfactory treatment of the upper abdomen in postbariatric patients is sometimes a challenge for the surgeons. The reverse abdominoplasty do not satisfactorily correct the residual epigastric laxity in some patients with previously abdominal reshaping surgery, once this technique can not remove undesirable circumferential soft-tissue of the upper trunk. Methods: Six female patients who had undergone massive weight loss were treated with a new technique. This technique consists of a vertical reverse abdominoplasty with horizontal incisions through the submmamary folds and a simultaneous mammaplasty. Results: There were no serious complications. The technique allows satisfactory and simultaneous correction of: (1) the epigastric looseness, (2) the excess of skin of the armpit, (3) the dorsal rolls, (4) breast ptosis and (5) the lower inframammary folds with only a small addition to the mammaplasty scar in the sternal region. All patients reported bein...
Background: Autologous fat grafting to the breast for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes is still controversial regarding its safety and efficacy. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review on clinical applicability and safety of the technique. Methods: An online search of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCIELO was conducted from July 1986 to June 2011. Studies included original articles of autologous liposuctioned fat grafting to the female breast with description of clinical complications and/or radiographic changes and/or local breast cancer recurrence. Results: This review included 60 articles with 4739 patients. Thirty studies used fat grafting for augmentation and 41 for reconstructive procedures. The incidence of clinical complications identified in 21 studies was 64/3015, the majority of them were induration and/or palpable nodulation. Radiographic changes were 266/2560 in 17 studies; more than 50% of them were consistent with cysts. The local recurrence of breast cancer (14/616) was evaluated in three studies, which only one is prospective and none is randomized. Conclusion:A broad clinical applicability of the procedure was identified.Complication rate was low and there was no evidence of interference with breast cancer detection. Study results concerning oncological risk are not clear at present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
