No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that wound healing is impaired in the patient who has experienced massive weight reduction following gastric bypass for morbid obesity. Specifically we will document post-surgical local complications and evaluate multiple wound healing parameters in two patient populations in a prospective fashion. The test group will consist of patients who have undergone dramatic weight loss and are much in need of a panniculectomy due to excessive skin redundancy. The control group will consist of patients within normal weight ranges who are seeking an abdominoplasty.
