Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn how the body processes ingested alcohol and how alcohol affects mood and blood sugar in both men and women after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: - Are there differences in the way that ingested alcohol is handled in men versus women after sleeve gastrectomy? - What is the consequence of drinking alcohol on an empty stomach versus after a meal on blood sugar control after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy? Participants will participate in two types of alcohol tests (alcohol given orally or administered intravenously) after not eating anything overnight or after having a meal. Researchers will compare men and women who underwent sleeve gastrectomy with men and women who had no surgery, are of similar age and body composition, and have similar alcohol intake patterns.
This study aims to develop and validate a prediction model for estimating the probability of inadequate weight loss one year after sleeve gastrectomy.
The aim of the study is to determine, in pregnant women who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy (SG), whether ghrelin changes could be involved in in utero growth restriction (IUGR) and whether therefore a correlation between maternal ghrelin levels and birth weight is observed.
It is known that morbidly obese patients are often accompanied by cardiovascular complications such as hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction, and are known to increase the risk of hypotension during anesthesia induction. Remimazolam is widely used in Japan and the United States, and it was approved as a drug for general anesthesia and sedation in Korea in 2021. It was reported that remimazolam caused less hypotension after induction of anesthesia than propofol. However, there is no study on the use of remimazolam in patients undergoing bariatric surgery due to morbid obesity. Therefore, through this study, we plan to check whether remimazolam is safe and effective as an anesthetic-inducing agent for morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
In patients with severe obesity, bariatric surgery provides consistent and long-term weight loss. BMI ≥50kg / m2 is an independent factor of increased morbidity / mortality in bariatric surgery compared with patients weighing less than 50 kg / m2 (1.2% and 0.8%) mainly due to technical difficulties. Preoperative weight loss reduces this morbidity / mortality. Recent studies have shown that blocking blood vessels to a particular portion of the stomach (bariatric or left gastric artery embolization) can temporarily decrease levels of the appetite inducing hormone ghrelin, and result in weight loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the association bariatric embolization before sleeve gastrectomy in super obese patients.
This study aims to determine if preoperative EndoFlip measurement can effectively predict postoperative GERD-related quality of life and lower esophageal acid exposure.
The aim of this study is to compare the possible efficacy of ondansetron and gabapentin on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common chronic conditions that can affect one's quality of life. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a popular technique and currently is the most frequently practiced surgical operation to treat obesity today. However, the prevalence of GERD following SG can be fairly high. Several studies have noted an incidence between 6% and 47%. To preserve this natural barrier during SG, a careful dissection at the angle of His must be maintained in order to spare the sling fibers and avoid blunting the angle of His. During creation of the sleeve, the gastric sling fibers are frequently transected near the angle of His, particularly if the transection line is very close to this anatomic landmark. These sling fibers contribute significantly to the function of the LES. The investigators suggest that after the finishing of SG, the anatomical structure of His horn was destroyed or partly destroyed, and the acute angle of His become obtuse angle. The investigators propose to perform a prospective randomized controlled study to reestablish the acute angle of His in obese patients followig sleeve gastrectomy to prevent GERD.
The prevalence of obesity has tripled in the last 50 years with presently about 1.7 billion of the world population aged 18 years and over either overweight or obese.1 In the US alone, 35% of the population is obese.2 Although alternative surgical approaches are available, bariatric surgery results in substantial and durable weight reduction for the majority of patients, making it the most effective treatment for severe obesity.3 In the battle to reduce the invasiveness of bariatric procedures, laparoscopy has become the gold standard approach for virtually all bariatric surgery procedures in the years since it was first used for gastric bypass by Wittgrove and colleagues in 1993.5 Available data shows perioperative patient-oriented advantages of laparoscopy when compared with open surgery, including a shorter hospital stay, decreased postoperative pain, and enhanced postoperative recovery.6 The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) reported significant improvements in the safety of metabolic/bariatric surgery due in large part to improved surgical techniques.7 The risk of death is about 0.1%8 and the overall likelihood of major complications is about 4%.9 Performing bariatric surgery laproscopically can be demanding in many situations because of large livers and substantial visceral fat that limit the working space and make exposure, dissection, and reconstruction difficult.10 Similarly, thick abdominal walls may cause excessive torque on instruments. Under such situations, surgeons' ergonomics become a serious concern.11 Use of robotics in bariatric surgery has been evolving since Cadiere and colleagues reported the first case in 1999.12 Robotic surgery has provided the surgeons with the advantage of three-dimensional vision as well as increased dexterity and precision by downscaling surgeon's movements enabling a fine tissue dissection and filtering out physiological tremor.13 It overcomes the restraint of torque on ports from thick abdominal wall, and minimizes port site trauma by remote center technology.14 Although Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is considered by many to be the gold standard procedure for weight loss,4 several studies demonstrate that sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and RYGB provide comparable weight loss.15 In fact, utilization of SG significantly increased from 9.3% in 2010 to 58.2% in 2014.16
Among various bariatric procedures, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most frequently performed procedures worldwide. Though SG provides similar weight loss effect to RYGB in short-term follow-up, its long-term and very long-term weight loss effect was reported to be inferior to RYGB. Weight regain after SG remains the major concern after 2-year follow-up due to gradual loss of appetite suppression and lack of malabsorption function. SG plus procedures have been developed to strengthen the effect of SG on diabetes control. It has been reported that SG plus jejunojejunal bypass (SG - JJB) offered better weight loss than SG and similar weight loss to RYGB. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sleeve gastrectomy plus uncut jejunojejunal bypass (SG - uncut JJB).
