Filter by:Morbid obesity emerges as a problem that causes serious complications and increased mortality rates. The most effective treatment for morbid obesity today is surgical treatment. The most preferred type of surgery in morbid obesity surgery in Turkey and around the world is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). While postoperative complications are divided into early and late complications, complications that develop during surgery and in the postoperative period before discharge are defined as perioperative complications. Early surgical complications after LSG include complications such as staple line bleeding, leaks, pulmonary thromboembolism, and torsion of the remnant stomach. It is important to detect these complications, which can be controlled with early intervention in the perioperative period. Monitoring blood parameters and monitoring inflammation are methods that are easily accessible and provide rapid evaluation. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which are used in the evaluation and detection of postoperative complications, have shed light on studies in this direction. Pan immune inflammation value (PIV) is calculated from blood parameters and has been used to evaluate prognosis and chemotherapy results in colorectal cancer. In this study, the diagnostic importance of changes in NLR, PLR, and PIV values in the preoperative and postoperative periods will be investigated in detecting complications that develop in the perioperative period before discharge in patients who underwent LSG.
This study aims to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl during general anesthesia for patients with morbid obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
The goal of this comparative clinical trial is to compare Pfannenstiel incision and higher transverse supra umbilical incision techniques during elective cesarean section in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in operative time between the two incision techniques? Is there a difference in estimated blood loss between the two techniques? Is there a difference in post-operative pain scores between the two techniques? Is there a difference in wound complication rates between the two techniques? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a Pfannenstiel incision or a higher transverse supra umbilical incision during their scheduled cesarean delivery. Researchers will compare the Pfannenstiel incision group to the higher transverse supra umbilical incision group to see if there are differences in operative time, blood loss, post-operative pain, and wound complications.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate glycemic control in patients with morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and RYGBP with fundus resection. The main questions to answer are: - Rate of diabetes remission and the role of the gastrointestinal hormones - Whether fundus resection leads to improved glycemic control Patients will randomly undergo typical RYGBP or RYGBP with fundus resection. Gastrointestinal hormones profile [ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), glucagon], glucose levels and insulin response will be measured preoperatively, at 6 months and at 12 months, during 120-min OGTT.
In obese patients, adequate pain relief in the postoperative period is an important parameter that affects patient comfort and hospital stay. Increasing patient comfort and recovery quality can be achieved by avoiding undesirable effects such as nausea, vomiting, and analgesia. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the external oblique intercostal block postoperative acute pain scores and opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
The present randomized clinical trial aims to prove the safety and efficacy of an interactive mobile application (Care4Today®) to obtain sufficient weight loss and empower patients with morbid obesity before being submitted to a gastric by-pass.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two different daily doses of tetrahydrocannabivarin impregnated mouth strips in healthy non-diabetic obese adults. The main questions to answer are: - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? - Is one dose better than the other dose? Participants will take either the low dose, high dose or placebo dose daily for ninety days and have physical measurements and blood tests obtained at the beginning and the end of the study.
A quasi-experimental study developed in sedentary morbidly obese men and women (age 43.6±11.3 y; body mass index [BMI] ≥40 kg/m2) were assigned to a CT group of ET plus RT (ET+RT; n=19; BMI 47.8±16.7) or RT plus ET order group (RT+ET; n=17; BMI 43.0±8.0). Subjects of both groups received eight exercise sessions over four weeks. Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), mean arterial pressure [MAP], heart rate at rest [HR], and pulse pressure [PP] measurements before and after 10 minutes postexercise. Secondary outcomes were other anthropometric, body composition, metabolic, and physical condition parameters. Using the ∆SBP reduction, and quartile categorization (Q) in 'high' (Rs: quartile 4), 'moderate' (MRs: quartile 3), 'low' (LRs: quartile 2), and 'nonresponders' (NRs: quartile 1) were reported.
Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an emerging type of bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS). Our study aimed to evaluate the short-term (≤30-day) postoperative safety of OAGB. Methods: Electronic medical records of all OAGBs performed between January 2017 and December 2021 at a high-volume bariatric center in Israel were scanned using the MDClone software. Data regarding patients' characteristics, surgical procedure, ≤30-day postoperative complications, and their classification according to Clavien-Dindo grade were gathered. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors related to early postoperative complications after OAGB. Results: A total of 6,722 patients underwent a primary (74.1%) or revisional (25.9%) OAGB procedure at our institution during the study period. Their preoperative mean age and body mass index (BMI) were 40.6±11.5 years and 41.2±4.6 kg/m2, respectively, and 75.0% were females. Respective mean operating time and length of stay were 67.3±26.6 minutes and 2.2±1.4 days. Complications occurred in 258 patients (3.8%), and include mainly bleeding (n=133, 2.0%), leaks (n=32, 0.5%), and obstruction/strictures (n=19, 0.3%). According to Clavien-Dindo classification, complication rate for grades 1-2 and grades 3a-5 were 1.6%; and 1.4%, respectively. The mortality rate was 0.03% (n=2). The rate of readmission and reoperation were 1.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Age ≥60 years, ≥3 hours of operating room time, and cholecystectomy concomitant with OAGB were independent predictors of early post-OAGB complications. Conclusions: OAGB was found to be a safe primary and revisional BMS procedure in the ≤30-day postoperative term. The most common early complications were gastrointestinal bleeding (2.0%), leak (0.5%), and stricture (0.3%).
This parallel, double-blind, randomised controlled trial aims to assess the effect of a polyphenol-rich dietary supplement on obesity parameters, in combination with a hypocaloric diet, for adults with morbid obesity, bariatric surgery candidates. Participants (n=40) will be randomly assigned to intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). Together with a regular hypocaloric diet (1,200 kcal/d), the IG will be given the supplement and the CG will be given a placebo. Both groups will take three capsules a day (400 mg per capsule, a total of 1,200 mg), distributed in three daily intakes (with meals). After 12 weeks and 3 visits (baseline visit, week 6 and week 12), pre and post intervention data and intervention versus placebo data will be analysed. Anthropometric and health parameters, dietary habits, lifestyle characteristics and physical activity will be assessed, and blood and urine samples will be collected in all three visits. Faecal samples will be collected at baseline and visit 3. Results will provide evidence on the effects of a combination of polyphenols on several well-established obesity parameters and will unravel possible underlying mechanisms by metabolomic analyses and microbiota diversity.
