Abstract

When abdominoplasty is desired, special considerations must be taken in Patients with previous abdominal scars. Open cholecystectomy scar is a relative contraindication for abdominoplasty, due to extensive abdominal flap undermining, which reaches higher up to the costal margins. In our patient the procedure of combined abdominoplasty and open cholecystectomy was completed without leaving any scar of open cholecystectomy, and this led to a better cosmetic results and viability of the whole abdominal wall skin with no complications from both procedures.
