Flowchart in Post-Bariatric Surgery: A Research for the Appropriate Type and Timing of Plasties Reshaping the Body
ConclusionOur findings suggest that the timing of body contouring surgery should be tailored to the type of bariatric procedure performed. Abdominoplasty is recommended as a last procedure for sleeve gastrectomy patients, while gastric bypass patients are suitable candidates for early abdominoplasty. Biliopancreatic diversion patients should stabilize their weight before abdominoplasty. The Pittsburgh Index is a valuable tool for assessing the timing of post-bariatric plastic surgery. Further research is needed to optimize surgical planning and outcomes.Level of Evidence VThis journal requires that authors assign a level o...

Clinical and Radiological Evaluation of Onlay Mesh Abdominoplasty in Obese Multiparous Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Rectus Diastasis
ConclusionComprehensive preoperative assessment and imaging techniques like ultrasound and CT scans allow surgeons to detect postpartum changes in the abdominal wall. Mesh reinforcement may be indicated for diastasis above 4 cm in obese multiparous females. Thorough preoperative evaluation permits customized surgical plans to optimally restore abdominal wall anatomy and function.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abdominoplasty in a Patient With Type 3 von Willebrand Disease: A Case Report
We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with type 3 vWD requiring medically indicated abdominoplasty after massive weight loss due to bariatric surgery. The case was successfully managed with individualized bodyweight-adapted substitution of recombinant vWF vonicog alfa and tranexamic acid under close monitoring of vWF and factor VIII activity. For further risk stratification, we propose the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with severe vWF undergoing elective plastic surgery in specialized centers providing around-the-clock laboratory testing and access to a blood bank. In addition, strict hemostasis during surger...
