RESUMO Introdução: A obesidade é uma doença inflamatória crônica associada a alterações de marcadores inflamatórios como as interleucinas e PCR. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a resposta inflamatória, através das variações das interleucinas e PCR, em pacientes submetidas à abdominoplastia. Métodos: Quatorze pacientes foram submetidas à abdominoplastia após perda ponderal alcançada por meio da cirurgia bariátrica com manutenção da perda ponderal por, ao menos, 18 meses. Os níveis de IL4, IL6, IL10 e PCR foram verificados nos tempos: pré-operatório, durante a cirurgia, 24 horas após a cirurgia, 7o dia pós-operatório e 14o dia pós-operatório. Resultados: IL4 aumentou nas 24 horas de pós-operatório e seguiu em ascensão até o 14 o dia. IL10 subiu durante a cirurgia e começou a cair nas 24 horas de pós-operatório a níveis inferiores aos iniciais. IL6 começou a subir durante a cirurgia, mais expressivamente nas 24 horas de pós-operatório, seguida de queda até o 14o dia. A PCR aumentou nas 24 horas de pós-operatório e continuou alta até o 14o dia. Conclusão: A abdominoplastia promoveu uma amenização do quadro inflamatório sistêmico crônico.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with changes in inflammatory markers such as interleukins and CRP. This study evaluates the inflammatory response, through variations in interleukins and CRP, in patients undergoing abdominoplasty. Methods: Fourteen patients underwent abdominoplasty after weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery to maintain weight loss for at least18 months. Il4, IL6, IL10 and PCR levels were verified at times: preoperative, during surgery, 24 hours after surgery, 7th postoperative day and 14th postoperative day. Results: IL4 increased in the 24 hours postoperatively and continued on the rise until the 14th day. IL10 went up during surgery and began to fall in the 24 hours postoperatively to levels lower than the initial ones. IL6 began to rise during surgery, being more expressive in the 24 hours postoperatively, followed by a fall until the 14th day. CRP increased 24 hours postoperatively and remained discharged until the 14th day. Conclusion: Abdominoplasty reduced the chronic inflammatory systemic condition.

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the serum variations of Interleukins (Il) and CPR of abdominoplasties in post-bariatric patients and, to equate the homeostasis (HOMA) from the variations of glycemia and insulin to evolute the metabolic modifications. Methods: Fourteen women were submitted to abdominoplasties with weight loss after a gastroplasty. Levels of IL4, IL6, IL10, CRP, glycemia and insulin were obtained during the pre-operative, trans-operative, 24 hours post, 7th and 14th postoperative days. Results: The IL4 was higher at 24 hours post-surgery, and after a moderate decrease, it remained high until the 14th day. The IL6 and CRP had an expressive increase during the trans-operative period. The CRP remained high, and the IL6 decreased on the 7th and 14th days. The IL10 increased during the transoperative period, and it posteriorly decreased to lower levels in comparison to the pre-operative period. The already increased glycemia during the pre-operative period was even higher during the trans-operative and then, returned to preliminary values on the 7th and 14th days after surgery. The HOMA accompanied the insulin. Conclusion: The inflammatory and glycemic serum levels decrease after abdominiplasty in obese post-bariatric patients.
