Filter by:The objectives of this study are to assess the initial safety and device functionality of the SFM Anastomosis System including delivery systems when used to create a dual-path duodenal-ileal (D-I) diversion either during sleeve gastrectomy (i.e., SNAP-S procedure) or patients with prior sleeve gastrectomy who experience inadequate weight loss (i.e., SNAP-PS procedure). Additionally, the study is designed to evaluate the potential of the SNAP-S/SNAP-PS procedures to induce weight loss and to improve metabolic comorbidities in obese subjects.
Study will monitor weight loss and metabolic indicators for subjects in single-center, single arm trial.
Obesity has become an increasingly common health problem today. In this context, although many anatomical, physiological and metabolic problems arising from obesity in morbid obese patients are tried to be solved in daily practice, it has been proven that eliminating obesity is sufficient in the treatment of many diseases. When we look at the literature, it is known that morbid obesity causes deformation and excessive wear in most body joints. When morbid obesity disappears, it has been shown that the previously existing neck, waist, back and knee pains regress. The aim of this study is to reveal the Cobb angle change in morbidly obese patients who achieved rapid weight loss after obesity surgery; To investigate the effect of weight loss on vertebral anatomy.
ACHT - Adipositas Care and Health Therapy - is a structured, digitally-supported, cross-sectoral and close to home program developed for the postoperative care of patients following obesity surgery. The aim is to ensure the long-term success of therapy following bariatric surgery. ACHT was selected by the Federal Joint Commission for support under the Innovation Fund. The project started in July 2019 and will end in December 2022.
It is an observational trial on 500 subjects. The purpose of this trial is to assess the prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in subjects with different classes of obesity.
It is a prospective randomized trial on 218 subjects, 109 for each arms. The purpose of this trial is to compare very low calorie diet and metabolic surgery induced weight loss and its maintenance.
The surgeries that involve treatment of morbid obesity, i.e. bypass procedure and sleeve gastrectomy, are collectively covered under the term 'bariatric surgery'. The frequency of bariatric surgery has been increasing worldwide for patients with medically complicated obesity who have difficulty losing weight by other methods The growth of bariatric surgery is accompanied with development of anesthetic techniques to maintain patient safety and improve outcome. Treatment with narcotics in obese patients has dual effect. Increased use of narcotics are associated with multiple complications including Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) , respiratory depression and elevated risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) complications . On the other hand, the reduction in opioid use may result in acute post-operative pain that may limit post-surgery rehabilitation. Therefore, we need to minimize opioid use and employ some other drugs which, besides having analgesia, has an opioid-sparing effect also. Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has analgesic properties in sub-anesthetic doses. When used in low dose (0.3 to 0.5 mg/kg) by ideal body weight, it is an analgesic, anti-hyperalgesic, and prevents development of opioid tolerance. Dexmedetomidine is selective α2-Adrenoceptor agonist that has been used as an adjuvant to anesthetic agents in perioperative period for several adventitious profile as well as tolerated side effects . While dexmedetomidine is emerging as a beneficial adjunct to the analgesic regimen in the perioperative period, its utilization is not routinely widespread .
Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze the microbiota of patients undergoing LSG or LRYGB on three levels of gastrointestinal tract, using oral swab and stool sample. We compared samples from patients achieving favorable outcomes in terms of weight-loss with patients, who did not respond optimally to the bariatric operation. Materials and methods Design This prospective cohort study was conducted in one academic, teaching hospital. The recommendations of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Section of the Polish Surgical Society were used as indication for surgery, that is: Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidities or BMI ≥40 kg/m2. Analysis and endpoints Primary endpoint was to determine the difference in microbiota present in oral cavity and large intestine between patients ing Group 1 and Group 2. Secondary endpoint was to compare the results of microbiota analysis between LSG and LRYGB.
The main aim of this project is to assess the safety and efficiency of the SASI Bipartition.
Bariatric guidelines recommend preoperative weight loss of 5% to reduce the risk of surgical complications. However, results in the literature on the improvement of surgical procedure and outcomes are still conflicting. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative weight loss by means of a 14-day low-calorie diet in bariatric patients on operative time, the ease of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure and long-term weight loss in a real-life experimental setting.
