Abstract: Background:The evaluation of collagen in the abdominal wall has been increasingly studied because of the relevance on collagen in the healing process after laparotomy. Aim: To evaluate the amount of collagen in the linea alba of patients undergoing laparotomic bariatric surgery and comparing with non-obese cadavers. Methods:Were evaluated 88 samples of aponeurosis from abdominal linea alba of 44 obese patients (obesity group) and 44 non-obese cadavers (control group). The samples were collected in 2013 and 210… Show more

“…In addition, obesity may occur at the same time as muscle loss [ 22 ]. Moreover, similar results from the study proposed by Grossi et al showed that the amount of collagen in the linea alba above the umbilical region in morbidly obese patients is smaller than in non-obese cadavers of the same age group [ 23 ]. Therefore, all these factors probably result in the occurrence of DRA in obese patients.…”

“…Performing an enterotomy to evacuate digesta changes a clean procedure to a clean‐contaminated procedure and seems intuitive that it would increase the risk of surgical site infection. The performance of any enterotomy was associated with increased risk of surgical site infection by Honnas 5 and colleagues, but this observation was not supported by other investigators 2,3,6,31,33 . Isgren et al reported increased surgical site infections in horses that had small intestinal resection and anastomosis but this association has not been recognized in other studies 36 .…”

“…In horses presented for acute intestinal disease, obesity (assessed by body mass index) had no association with increased postoperative mortality, but there was increased risk of mortality in horses with increased adiponectin gene expression from retroperitoneal adipose tissue 33 . Interestingly, obese people have significantly less type I and III collagen within the linea alba compared to people with normal body mass indices and are at increased risk of surgical site complications 34 . Rather than weight, it may be appropriate to assess the influence of body condition score, body mass index, or even retroperitoneal adipose tissue depth on the risk of surgical site complications in horses following celiotomy.…”
