Abstract

Introduction: Obesity in modern conditions has become a pandemic. Surgical treatment of abdominal pathology is a complex task, and the implementation of appropriate surgical approaches is not an easy task.

Objective: To determine the peculiarities of surgical approaches during abdominal surgery in obese patients.

Materials and Methods: Based on the observation and analysis of the treatment of 129 patients with abdominal pathology in the setting of obesity, it is proposed to improve the known surgical approaches.

Results: The proposed weakening incisions at the corners of laparotomy wounds make it possible to technically improve the performance of accesses in obese people and reduce the risk of iatrogenic complications.

Keywords: Surgical Access; Surgery; Operative Period; Organs of the Abdominal Cavity; Obesity
