Predictive value of biochemical and tissue modifications for wound healing in post-bariatric patients

Background Bariatric surgery, despite its beneficial effects, is responsible for highly frequent wound healing complications, as it has already been demonstrated in post-biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) patients. The aim of this study was to analyze results and wound healing process in a population submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), a procedure involving both a malabsorptive and restrictive approach.
