Abstract

Pregnancy produces changes in the body contour due to skeletal modifications and flaccidity of the cutaneous and musculoaponeurotic tissues. A new technique is proposed to treat the musculoaponeurotic flaccidity and thus achieve a good abdominal contour. The major oblique muscle is sutured to the rectus fasciae. The results of this procedure and the physiopathology of the modification of the abdomen during pregnancy and obesity are discussed. Possible future scientific methods are considered.
