Filter by:Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is currently the most frequent primary bariatric procedure performed worldwide. LSG is safe and effective in terms of excess weight loss. It is a powerful metabolic operation that activates significant hormonal pathways that lead to changes in eating behaviour, glycemic control and intestinal functions. LSG is easier regarding its technical aspects and does not need any intestinal anastomosis, begin limited to the stomach. The most frequent and sometimes dangerous complications are leaking, haemorrhage, splenic injury, sleeve stenosis and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite its established efficacy and safety, controversy still exists on optimal operative technique for LSG: bougie size, the distance of resection margin from the pylorus, the shape of the section at the gastroesophageal junction, staple line reinforcement and intraoperative leak testing is among the most controversial issues 11[6]. In literature, different authors have adopted a resection distance from the pylorus between 2 and 6-7 cm with various reasons 11[6]. Resections more distant to the pylorus improve gastric emptying, prevent distal stenosis and reduce intraluminal pressure, potentially leading to a lower incidence of fistula and/or reflux. On the other hand, resections close to the pylorus would reduce gastric distensibility and increase intragastric pressure, potentially increasing satiety with less oral intake 11(11,12). The primary aim of this randomized monocentric study is to evaluate %EWL at 1 and 2 years follow-up after LSG in two Groups: Group A with a gastric resection starting from 2 cm from the pylorus with therefore a wide antrectomy and Group B with a gastric resection starting from 6 cm from the pylorus with therefore a small antrectomy.
One in three adults in the United States suffers from obesity. Bariatric surgery is an increasingly utilized and effective treatment for obesity and obesity-related comorbidities, however, the massive weight loss associated with bariatric surgery adversely affects bone leads to an increased risk of fracture. Bisphosphonate medications, such as zoledronic acid, are used to treat bone loss in patients with osteoporosis, and this study investigates whether this medication can prevent bone loss associated with surgical weight loss procedures.
Obesity is a public health phenomenon affecting more than 17% of women in France, and more than 20% of men and women in Champagne-Ardenne. Obese women are more likely to have an unplanned pregnancy, whereas these pregnancies are more at risk than women of normal weight and should be planned or considered after weight loss. These women are also often less well followed in terms of gynecology and especially on contraception. More and more patients are opting for bariatric surgery. However, bariatric surgery is not trivial. Indeed, the important loss of weight expected is at risk of nutritional deficiencies. In addition, a large number of patients are still obese during the months following surgery. This is why pregnancy is theoretically contraindicated within 12 or 18 months postoperatively. Women with bariatric surgery must have been properly informed of these risks so that they can choose a contraceptive method, and that can be adapted to both their risk factors and the surgical technique performed.
In this study, our primary aim is; investigate the effect of aerobic dance based exercise program on lower extremity functions (walking, stair stroke climbing, etc.) in obese individuals awaiting bariatric surgery.
This project aims to assess the short- and long-term safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in children and adolescents compared to adults.
Major laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery requires steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a long time leading to decrease pulmonary compliance and lung volumes due to cephalic displacement and decrease excursion of the diaphragm, consequently leading to the possibility of atelectasis formation. Different strategies have been proposed to reduce atelectasis and other pulmonary complications in obese patients as induction of anesthesia in the head up position with or without CPAP, protective intraoperative mechanical ventilation with high or low levels of PEEP and implementation of Recruitment Maneuvers. Up to investigators' knowledge, there is no study done to evaluate the effect of intraoperative use of PEEP and alveolar recruitment maneuver on diaphragmatic function and incidence of atelectasis via ultrasonography in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Investigators aimed to present the patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with transoral specimen extraction.
Aim: The impact of extended antral resection (AR) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on weight loss changes and metabolic response is still not clearly elucidated with conflicting results. The investigator's retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether AR is superior to antral preservation (AP) regarding weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to the distance of gastric division as AR group (2cm from pylorus) and AP group (6cm from pylorus). Postoperative excess weight loss percentile (%EWL) and total body weight loss percentiles (%TBWL) at the end of first, 6th and 12 months were compared. Secondly, metabolic parameters and complications were compared.
In this study, our primary aim is to investigate the effects of structured core stabilization exercise program on functional capacity, body composition, muscle strength, endurance, balance, quality of life in adult obese individuals expecting bariatric surgery. Our secondary aim is to provide the individual with exercise habits and increase the level of physical activity in daily life with the exercise program planned according to the needs of the individual.
This prospective study aimed to determine the alcohol intake symptoms and alcohol metabolism before and 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) by evaluating blood alcohol content (BAC) and urinary alcohol metabolite levels against the amount of alcohol consumed to reveal the occurrence of any AUD..
