ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze an effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery with simultaneous abdominoplasty in patients with superficial abdominal obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Laparoscopic abdominal, retroperitoneal and pelvic surgery with simultaneous abdominoplasty was performed in 25 patients with body mass index >40 kg/m2. RESULTS: Surgery time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly higher after simultaneous surgery (p<0.05). However, these differences did not influence postoperative period. Duration of analgesic therapy, activation of patients and length of hospital-stay, as well as overall postoperative morbidity were similar in both groups (p>0.05). Simultaneous abdominoplasty resulted significantly better quality of life according to almost all parameters (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: According to certain indications, abdominoplasty is advisable as the first stage of simultaneous surgery in patients with large subcutaneous fat apron after bariatric surgery or in those with primary superficial abdominal obesity. The positive aspects of abdominoplasty are simplification of laparoscopic stage, reduced intra-abdominal pressure in postoperative period, excellent and good aesthetic effect and improved quality of life.

The study included 400 patients with I-III obesity degree. All patients were tested before and after hypocaloric diet with energy value of 1600 kcal/day within 2 weeks. The bioimpedance analysis was spent on device "Inbody 720". The application of the hypocaloric diet is accompanied by clinically significant decrease in body weight in patients with obesity mainly due to the fatty component and visceral fat area and positive dynamics of clinical and biochemical parameters.

Under steady state conditions in 66 athletes involved in weightlifting, bodybuilding, judo and taekwondo have studied features of the metabolic status. Data on matter-of-fact nutrition, body weight content within the inter-competition period, energy exchange, clinical and biochemical indices and physical acceptability indices were analyzed. As a result, the decrease indexes of metabolism at all the sportsmen and high-level caloric value at sportsmen who are engaged in weightlifting, which corresponds their energy expenditures, was revealed.
