Analysis of laboratory markers in body contouring procedures after bariatric surgery does not indicate particular risks for perioperative complications
Authors' conclusion
Analysis of perioperative laboratory markers in this special patient population after massive weight loss did not indicate clinically relevant risk factors regardless of the type of bariatric or body contouring surgery.
