ABSTRACT A method of multistoried closing the wound with the help of 2-4 adapting horizontal mattress sutures onto the subcutaneous fatty tissue and one suture onto the skin was used in 58 patients with the III degree of obesity for suturing the postoperative wound in the area of the frontal abdominal wall. No specific complications resulting from the used technique of suturing the wound were noted. Long-term results of treatment showed a good cosmetic effect.
