Filter by:This observational study aims to learn about the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB (Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition in morbidly obese patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: To study the correlation between the improving comorbidities associated with obesity after MGB(Mini-Gastric Bypass) surgery and changes in body composition. Other objectives are: - Changes in the parameters of the metabolic syndrome after surgery - Changes in the cardiovascular risk biomarkers after metabolic surgery - Emergence in complications arising out of surgery requiring any intervention or causing a prolonged hospital stay, or requiring additional outpatient visits. Type of Study: An observational study in which participants with morbid obesity will undergo mini-gastric bypass surgery as per routine protocol. No separate experimental interventions will be done in the study for the participants.
The aim of the study is to answer a daily question in the operating room: what is the safest technique for intubation of severe/morbid obese patients (BMI 35 or more). There is a great heterogeneity of practices on the subject, so the principle is to determine a common practice to facilitate the management of these patients.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and bupivacaine versus local wound infiltration effect on reducing post-op opioid use in Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block reduced post operative morphine usage when comparing with local wound port site infiltration. Participants will be randomize into 2 group - peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block - local wound port site infiltration
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.
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.
It is a randomized parallel arm intervention study in adults with severe obesity. The objective is to demonstrate that within a dietary handling for weight loss, the daily ingestion during 3 months of whole dairy products enriched with milk polar lipids or whole dairy products decreases to a greater extent fasting plasma apolipoprotein B concentrations than the daily ingestion of low-fat dairy products (control group). Metabolic parameters will be assessed before and after the 3-month intervention, both at fasting and in postprandial period after the consumption of standardized meals.
The growing obesity pandemic has a major impact on global cardiovascular (CVD)-related morbidity and premature mortality, severely compromising the quality of life of those affected and significantly increasing costs for the healthcare system. Numerous scientific evidences have demonstrated that a moderate weight loss (5-10% of the initial body weight) is already sufficient to determine the improvement of the cardiometabolic risk factors associated with overweight and obesity. With a view to obtaining a more significant weight loss in the initial stages of dietary treatment, in the last 10 years, the very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has become a strategy for the treatment of obesity and its comorbidities, also allowing to limit therapeutic failure and the high drop-out typical of traditional low-calorie diets. The present study aims to study the long-term efficacy (36 months) of VLCKD in patients with severe obesity and metabolic syndrome, on weight loss, on single factors of the metabolic syndrome compared to a restrictive Mediterranean diet. One hundred subjects with severe obesity and metabolic syndrome will be recruited and randomly assigned to VLCKD or to restrictive Mediterranean diet. Anthropometric parameters, metabolic status blood pressure, degree of arterial stiffness, prevalence and severity of snoring and OSA, cardiac systolic and diastolic function, the autonomic nervous control mode of the circulation will be evaluated at baseline, after one month and at the end of the study.
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.
SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway is a novel third generation supraglottic device allowing for continuous observation of entrance to larynx via inserted in special channel videoscope connected with cable with external monitor. In obese patients airway management can be difficult so use of new devices that improve safety and potentially efficacy of airway management is indicated. In prospective observational study the SaCo VLM will be evaluated in terms of maintaining airway patency and effectiveness of intubation through it's lumen in morbidly obese scheduled for elective general surgery under general anesthesia.
