Filter by:Morbid obesity has become a major global health problem, and the use of bariatric surgery is increasing. One common complication seen following bariatric surgery is the formation of gallstones. Contributing factors to gallstone formation include hypomotility of gall bladder and supersaturation of bile due to rapid weight loss and mobilization of cholesterol. Previous studies revealed oral probiotics could reduce the cholesterol level by as much as 22% to 33%. The possible mechanisms included bile salt hydrolase activity, assimilation of cholesterol by the bacteria, binding of cholesterol to the bacterial cell wall and physiological actions of the end products of short chain fatty acid fermentation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the ability of probiotics to prevent gallstones formation after bariatric surgery and to evaluate the impact of oral administration of probiotics on the post bariatric surgery patients 's quality of life. Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index is a widely accepted questionnaire for evaluating the quality of life for patients receiving bariatric surgery. It consists of five domains: digestive symptoms; physical function; emotional condition; social condition and effect of medical treatment, which could access the quality of life of bariatric patient effectively and completely.
This study aims to compare the overall rate of endoscopic clearance of complicated bile duct stones by Spyglass DS peroral cholangioscopy guided holmium:YAG laser/electrohydraulic lithotripsy versus conventional BML.
Effectiveness of fasting or fasting-mimicking diet has been proved an effective approach to treat metabolic and autoimmune diseases in mice. However, clinical trials performing prolonged fasting with more than 7 days have not been reported. Investigators conduct an open label, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the 21-day fasting-like diet in the treatment of metabolic and autoimmune diseases.
Propofol is one of the most commonly used anesthetic agents because of its ability to induce rapid and reliable collection. However, hypotension and injection pain in the induction are the most common complications. After induction of propofol; The cardiovascular system depresses, resulting in a drop in blood pressure due to decreased cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. This may also contribute to the reduction of sympathetic tone activity in the central way, and slight reduction in the number of pulses that develop as a result of increasing vagal activity. İn order to attenuate these hemodynamic undesired effects caused by propofol, various agents were tried such as atropine, ephedrine, volume replacement ringer lactate, ketamine. Ondansetron and granisetron, which are used for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis, have been used as such. Therefore, ondansetron and granisetron were preventing hypotension induced by post-spinal and general anesthesia induction. The investigator also tried to demonstrate the effect of granisetron, another serotonin type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis, on induction hypotension and intubation quality after propofol induction in this study
Investigate serial plasma samples of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) after oral stimulation with chenodeoxycholic acid in the same subjects before and after elective cholecystectomy
The study is designed to assess the awareness of the SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy Program among polish surgeons, as well as the degree of implementation of this Program during laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in Poland. It also gathers the opinion of polish surgeons on usefulness of each of the SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy Rules
The present study aims at analyzing the learning curve for fundus first with the ultrasonic tissue coagulation dissection technique in elective cholecystectomy. Patients included in the study are planned for an elective cholecystectomy, on the basis of the gallstone disease. All participating surgeons have experience of the traditional approach with electrocautery. The operation time as well as the surgeons own evaluation of difficulty and performance are noted. Selected films are analyzed by independent surgeons with experience of the fundus first technique. The Swedish registry of gallstone surgery and ERCP (GallRiks) are used to record the intra and postoperative complication rate.
Randomized, prospective study evaluating efficacy and safety of Goff transpancreatic septotomy vs. double wire technique for achieving biliary access in patients who fail initial cannulation at ERCP.
Bile duct stones is a common biliary tract disease, which is characterized by high morbidity and frequent recurrence. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an effective therapy for common bile duct stones, and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) which associated with recurrent cholangiolithiasis often carried out on difficult intubation or extracting stones, probably due to enhanced reflux of intestinal contents that changes the microenvironment. Patients with cholangiolithiasis were consecutively recruited and their bile was collected intra-operatively for high-throughput experiments. Pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene was performed to characterize the microbiota in the bile and other body fluids. A liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based method was used to profile bile composition. Clinical manifestation, microbiome, and bile composition were compared between patients with or without recurrent of bile duct stones. The aim of our study was to identify the impact of microbiomes on the recurrent of bile duct stones after ERCP+EST therapy.
Comparing the use of surgical robotics during a Cholecystectomy, comparing different platforms and approaches (multi port verses single port).
