“…48 Finally, body contouring surgery is the final link in the comprehensive treatment of obese patients because it improves quality of life after bariatric surgery. [51][52][53] We consider that the increase in oxidative stress in this group of patients could be associated with the development of complications. Nevertheless, there are currently no studies in this regard.…”

Background: The present study investigates the impact of oxidative stress after bariatric surgery in patients with obesity. This field of study has gained great interest in recent years due to the role that oxidative stress plays in metabolic diseases. Obesity, by itself, can generate an increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, intensifying cellular damage and promoting the progression of adverse metabolic conditions. In this context, bariatric surgery emerges as a candidate capable of modifying oxidative stress biomarkers, facilitating the patient’s metabolic recovery. Methods: A systematic review was carried out, identifying 30 studies found in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. It looked at the link between oxidative stress and recovery after bariatric surgery in patients. The selection of studies was based on the measurement of oxidative stress biomarkers before and after surgical intervention. Results: The results reveal a significant decrease in oxidative stress biomarkers after bariatric surgery. However, a notable variability in antioxidant activity is observed between different patients, as well as a significant influence of comorbidities. Conclusions: Bariatric surgery is postulated as an effective intervention in reducing oxidative stress in patients with obesity, enhancing antioxidant activity and improving patient recovery. This finding highlights the importance of considering oxidative stress management as an integral part of postoperative care, suggesting the need to implement complementary treatment strategies to optimize health outcomes.

Lower Body Lift: Integral management of the lower trunk in patients with massive weight loss. Case series and description of the Surgical Technique Introduction: Obesity is a public health problem; bariatric surgery is an effective treatment to weight loss. Skin surplus and adiposity can produce physical and psychological problems. The management of these patients requires large cutaneous resections. The Lower Body Lift is an integral strategy that allows to handle abdominal, gluteal and proximal thigh area. Objective: Present a series of patients with massive weight loss using the Lower Body Lift and expose the surgical technique. Materials and Method: Cohort of patients managed with Lower Body Lift by plastic surgeons of a university clinical hospital, between January 2013 and June 2016. A descriptive analysis of the series was realized. And the surgical technique is exposed. Results: Of a total of 97 lower body contour procedures in patients with massive weight loss, 17 (17.52%) were Lower Body Lift. 14 (82.35%) were women, with a mean age of 39.2 ± 11.2 years. On average, the patients had a weight loss of 41.4 ± 14.9 kg, with the BMI at the time of the intervention of 26.02 ± 6.17 kg/m 2. Conclusions: Patients with massive weight loss have a large cutaneous surplus that may require extensive resections to achieve satisfactory contour correction. Our patients had a weight loss of about 40 Kg prior to surgery, reaching almost normal BMI. The Lower Body Lift technique successfully corrects the aftermath of massive weight loss, with associated low complications.
