Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different suture material on the incidence of suture granuloma
Detailed Description:
Bariatric surgery has evolved as an effective treatment for morbid obesity inducing rapid and predictable weight loss within a period of 12 to 18 months following surgery Consequently body contouring after weight loss is emerging as the fastest growing field of plastic surgery Patients seek consultation with a plastic surgeon to correct skin laxity of the abdomen thighs chest back and neck
A major problem in body contourinig is the extrusion of absorbable suture material used for dermal closure Long incisions and high tension inherent to body contouring surgery mandate a secure dermal closure While absorbable sutures are preferred they can result in suture granuloma and extrusion
