Article Synopsis
- Morbid obesity leads to significant health, social, and economic issues, often requiring surgical interventions like bariatric surgery that result in massive weight loss.
- This study evaluates skin biopsies from nine patients before and after bariatric surgery to analyze histological changes, using various staining techniques and statistical methods to assess collagen, fibrosis, vascularity, and adipocyte populations.
- Results indicate that post-bariatric surgery patients experience increased fibrosis and decreased collagen and elastic fibers, as well as reduced vascular proliferation in the skin after massive weight loss.
