Filter by:The main aim of this study is to analyze and report the intermediate term outcomes after laparoscopic revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery for failed and/or complicated Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG). The foremost outcome measurements are 1) Fat loss mainly measured as weight loss and expressed as trends in BMI, %EWL, and/or %EBL. 2) Trend in Comorbidity status. 3) Subjective Satisfaction and Health-Related Quality of Life "HR-QoL" are measured by a standardized, non-validated satisfaction questionnaire and by a validated, disease-specific worldwide used HR-QoL questionnaire. 4) Morbidity & Mortality include nutritional status and metabolic complications. Consequently, secondary objectives of this study are the following. 1) To assess failure rate defined as percentage of excess weight loss < 50%, lowest BMI >35 for morbidly obese (MO) or >40 for superobese (SO), and/or lack of resolution/improvement of major comorbidities at the point in time when assessed at each postoperative year after the surgery under study. 2) To evaluate the metabolic and nutritional status by measurements of particular clinical and biochemical parameters.
The goal of this study is to describe the clinical presentation, indications, and operative treatment as well as assess the morbidity, mortality, and overall performance of revisional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) after either failed or functional antireflux surgery "ARS" in obese patients. With such information, we hope to determine which features might assist us in advancing our knowledge about Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease "GERD", the best option for primary ARS, and mechanisms of failure in the obese population as well as in identifying predictors of outcome after revisional surgery in this population.
The main aim of this study is to analyze and report traditional, patient-centered, and composite intermediate-term outcomes after laparoscopic revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for weight recidivism.
This study objectives are the following. - To describe the updated clinical presentation, indications, and multidisciplinary medical management of patients with a failed and/or complicated jejunoileal bypass (JIB). - To analyze the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic re-operative gastric bypass surgery for failed and/or complicated Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) for weight loss. - To determine what factors or strategies are associated with a successful outcome. In particular, the completion of the surgery in one stage with a laparoscopic approach.
The main aim of this study is to analyze and report the very long-term outcomes after primary laparoscopic proximal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for clinically severe obesity.
The main aim of this study is to analyze and report the preliminary and intermediate term outcomes after laparoscopic revision Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for weight recidivism. The foremost outcome measurements are 1) Fat loss mainly measured as weight loss and expressed as trends in BMI, %EWL, and/or %EBL; 2) Trend in Comorbidity status; and 3) Patient satisfaction and Health-Related Quality of Life "HR-QoL" measured by a standardized, non-validated subjective satisfaction questionnaire and the validated, disease-specific, Moorehead-Ardelt II QoL questionnaires, respectively; 4) Morbidity & Mortality including nutritional status and metabolic complications. Consequently, secondary objectives of this study are 1) to assess failure rate defined as percentage of excess weight loss < 50% , lowest BMI >35 for morbidly obese (MO) or >40 for superobese (SO), and/or lack of resolution/improvement of major comorbidities at the point in time when assessing preliminary and intermediate results after the surgery under analysis. 2) To evaluate the metabolic and nutritional status by measurements of particular clinical and biochemical parameters. This research is in line with the most current provocative new ideas and recent high impact publications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first outcome study of revisional malabsorptive distal gastric bypass surgery by laparoscopy with diverse revisional strategies such as revisional gastroplasty, revisional Fobi-Capella, revisional Adjustable Gastric Band, conversion to distal, and conversion to very, very long limb gastric bypass. Previously, several studies have addressed conversion to malabsorptive gastric bypass after a failed primary proximal gastric bypass but none has addressed the failed distal gastric bypass nor the adequate balance between increasing restriction and malabsorption for decreasing the risk of protein-calorie malnutrition.
