Histological Alterations Following Bariatric Surgery: Pilot Study

Background Macroscopic clinical evidence of tissue damaging following bariatric surgery pushed plastic surgeons to presume microscopic alterations as well. Methods Five preliminary cases studied randomly, and compared with healthy tissues, confirmed these initial suspects. A deeper and wider study h...

Description
Summary:Background Macroscopic clinical evidence of tissue damaging following bariatric surgery pushed plastic surgeons to presume microscopic alterations as well. Methods Five preliminary cases studied randomly, and compared with healthy tissues, confirmed these initial suspects. A deeper and wider study has then been structured. Results Preliminary results are so evident to encourage us to carry on an estimated 2–3 years multidisciplinary study. Conclusions What we want to study is if histological post-bariatric alterations are confirmed, and if these can be considered responsible for higher complication rate in body contouring following bariatric surgery.
