Abstract

Abstract. A 44-year-old woman undergoing abdominoplasty, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and incisional hernia repair is presented. Abdominal wall lipodystrophy and incisional hernia, both pathologies leading to esthetic deformity, and cholelithiasis causing biliary symptoms were treated at the same operation without any complications. Combining two or multiple abdominal procedures may reduce the potential risks of multiple anesthesia for each procedure, shorten total hospital stay and operating room time, and, perhaps most importantly for the patient, reduce costs and time off work.
