Atareta Mangu is part of the project 'Te Ara Pokanga o te Kiri – Patient experiences of apronectomy for excess skin removal following significant weight Loss in Te Tairāwhiti'
This research will audit apronectomy surgical services by investigating post-operative complications. Researchers will undertake semi-structured in-depth interviews with whānau who have had an apronectomy in Te Tairāwhiti. Following this, the research team will design two resources: a one-page digital information sheet depicting the surgery, how it is done, and its risks and; a postoperative recovery survey tool to aid in better follow up for whānau.
Lead: Dr Jamie-Lee Rahiri (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Whātua ki Kaipara, Te Ātihaunui-a-Pāpārangi) (UoA), with Associate Professor Matire Harwood (Ngāpuhi) (UoA), Dr Samantha Grace (Te Whānau-a-Apanui, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāpuhi) (Te Whatu Ora), & Ms Atareta Mangu (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Hine) (Te Puni Kōkiri).
