Abstract:
The surgical treatment of morbid obesity is reserved to patients non responding to medical and dietetical therapy. The Authors suggest for these patients a sequential surgical treatment: a vertical gastroplasty, followed by an abdominoplasty. In the Authors experience, this approach offers good results in terms of weight loss and aesthetics. In this paper, the results obtained in 19 patients, operated for morbid obesity in the past three years, are reported.
