Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Abdominoplasty (surgical removal of excess fat or skin) is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed by surgeons throughout the world. The continuing advances in this area can help improve outcomes. The combination of abdominoplasty and hernia repair is expected to further improve outcomes, but may have a negative impact on outcomes. The aim in this study is to find out whether abdominoplasty at the time of hernia repair modifies the incidence of complications and recurrence.
Who can participate?
Women who are overweight and have hernia
What does the study involve?
Participants will be randomly allocated to hernia repair alone or abdominoplasty and hernia repair.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefits are less infection, better healing and improved patient satisfaction. A possible risk is a negative effect on the outcome measures.
