Resolution of abdominal hernia with loss of home in two surgical times, in a patient with morbid obesity

Obesity is a risk factor for the development of anterior abdominal wall hernias. Incisional hernias develop in up to 13% of laparotomies: the most difficult to repair are complex and multiple recurrent hernias with significant loss of control. The best approach to treating obese patients who concomitantly have hernias of the anterior abdominal wall is still a matter of debate. We present a clinical case of a patient with morbid obesity and abdominal hernia with loss of residence, who underwent bariatric surgery before ventral plasty.
