Abdominoplasty in Hemodialysis Patients Before Transplant
2019
: Morbid obesity in patients with chronic kidney disease is a contraindication for inclusion on the kidney transplant waitlist.Despite intentional weightloss,the persistence of the abdominal adipose panniculus poses postoperative risks, such as infection of the surgical site and seromas. We describe 2 cases of patients on hemodialysis who had a body mass index greater than 35 kg/m² who underwent abdominoplasty before transplant without perioperative complications. One patient received a living-related kidney transplant (donor was the brother) without complications.
