Abstract

Introdução: A cirurgia bariatrica tem possibilitado perda de peso com consequente excesso de pele e tela subcutanea. A abdominoplastia em ancora auxilia na melhora das deformidades resultantes da perda de peso. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida e a capacidade funcional em mulheres submetidas a abdominoplastia em ancora apos cirurgia bariatrica. METODOS: Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey e Health Assessment Questionnaire foram utilizados para mensuracao prospectiva de qualidade de vida e capacidade funcional em 30 mulheres submetidas a abdominoplastia em ancora apos cirurgia bariatrica. As medidas de qualidade de vida foram realizadas no pre-operatorio e nos pos-operatorios de tres e seis meses, e comparadas com Grupo Controle. O indice de significancia estatistica adotado foi 0,05. RESULTADOS: O dominio Capacidade Funcional do Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey evoluiu com melhora entre o pre-operatorio e o pos-operatorio de seis meses (p=0,047) e entre o pos-operatorio de tres meses e o pos-operatorio de seis meses (p=0,009), sem diferenca entre os grupos Abdominoplastia e Controle (p=0,442). O dominio Dor Corporal do Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey evoluiu com melhora entre o pre-operatorio e o pos-operatorio de seis meses (p=0,022), sem diferenca entre os grupos Abdominoplastia e Controle (p=0,723). O Health Assessment Questionnaire nao apresentou diferenca estatistica nos periodos avaliados, nem entre os grupos Abdominoplastia e Controle. CONCLUSAO: A abdominoplastia em ancora nao alterou a qualidade de vida e a capacidade funcional em mulheres apos a cirurgia bariatrica

INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery has allowed for weight loss with consequent excess skin and subcutaneous tissue. The anchor-line Abdominoplasty helps in the improvement of deformities resulting from weight loss. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the quality of life and functional ability in women submitted to anchor-line Abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery. METHODS: Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey and the Health Assessment Questionnaire were used to measure prospective quality of life and functional ability in 30 women submitted to anchor-line Abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery. The quality of life measurement was held in the preoperative and in the postoperative of three and six months, which was compared with the Control Group. The statistical significance level adopted was 0.05. RESULTS: The Physical Functioning domain of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey evolved with improvement between the preoperative and postoperative period of six months (p=0.047) and between the postoperative of three months and the postoperative of six months (p=0.009), with no difference between the Abdominoplasty and Control Group (p=0.442). The Bodily Pain domain of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey evolved with improves between the preoperative and postoperative period of six months (p=0.022), with no difference between the Abdominoplasty and Control Group (p=0.723). The Health Assessment Questionnaire presented no statistical difference in the evaluated periods, or between the Abdominoplasty and Control Group. CONCLUSION: The anchor-line Abdominoplasty did not alter the quality of life and functional ability in women after bariatric surgery
