Filter by:The main adverse effect is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with concern on the development of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma in the long term. However, the relationship between SG and GERD is complex. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate all published data existing in the literature to evaluate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on GERD, esophagitis, BE in order to clarify the long-term clinical sequelae of this procedure. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Published studies that contained outcome data for primary sleeve gastrectomy associated with the primary and secondary outcomes listed below were included.
Does weight loss surgery in patients with morbid obesity prior to knee replacement surgery improve outcomes from knee replacement surgery
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of apneic preoxygenation to conventional preoxygenation on the oxygen desaturation in morbid obese parturient performing elective caesarean section under general anesthesia.
Metabolic surgery is an emerging option to treat obesity-related metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes) and prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic surgery can profoundly alter the gut microbiota; meanwhile, gut microbiota may affect surgical outcomes. Longitudinal studies that examined pre- to post-surgery changes in gut microbiota and its relation to cardiometabolic health after surgery are limited. Furthermore, few studies have included African Americans, a population with high rates of cardiometabolic diseases. The investigators aim to fill these research gaps by establishing a longitudinal, observational study of metabolic surgery patients and applying multi-omics to identify stool, blood, and/or tissue microbial features related to post-surgery cardiometabolic outcomes. In the current study, the investigators plan to enroll up to 300 patients who undergo metabolic surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and follow them for up to 10 years after surgery. Fasting blood and stool samples will be collected at pre-surgery and 3-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year post-surgery clinical visits. Tissue samples (e.g., biopsies of the liver and adipose and remnants of the stomach) will be collected during operation. Meanwhile, participants will complete a REDCap survey at baseline and 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year post-surgery. Participants' electronic medical records will be used to obtain additional information and facilitate long-term follow-up. The investigators will evaluate pre- to post-surgery changes in the fecal microbiome and fecal and blood levels of metabolites and proteins and the associations of microbiome, metabolites, and proteins with cardiometabolic improvements after surgery. This study will advance our understanding of the role of gut microbiota in metabolic surgery, which may translate into novel approaches to identify and treat obese patients for better cardiometabolic health.
The objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of CPAP on umbilical cord acid base status in morbidly obese women at the time of scheduled cesarean delivery. We hypothesize that neonates born to mothers wearing CPAP during the cesarean section will have a higher umbilical artery pH.
in this study we compare the results of concomitant cholecystectomy with bariatric surgery versus delayed cholecystectomy for management of gallstone in obese patients
This study will be a retrospective study in which we will review patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Sohag University Hospital in the period from january 2017 to May 2018.Assessment of outcomes as Effects on weight, Effects on co-morbidities and Post operative complications.
Recently, the dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique has emerged as a novel method of labor analgesia. The DPE technique is a modification of the combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique, where a dural perforation is created from a spinal needle but intrathecal medication administration is withheld. The DPE technique has been shown to improve caudal spread of analgesia compared with epidural technique without the side effects observed with the CSE technique.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a technique used for bariatric surgery, with results comparable to conventional surgery, in order to treat morbid obesity. It has also less risks of complications, and it is not an irreversible technique. It can be repeated overtime, regarding the evolution of the gastroplasty. There is little data in the literature on the effectiveness of endoscopic "revision". This study will assess the benefits and costs of a revision during the follow-up endoscopy.
The gastric bypass can reduce the bioavailability of food proteins. The bioavailability of hydrolyzed proteins may be higher than intact proteins. Thus, the use of hydrolyzed proteins could compensate for the decrease in protein bioavailability observed after gastric By-pass in morbidly obese patients. The effectiveness of a hydrolyzed protein intake may be higher than that of an intact protein intake to improve the status of a By-pass. The hypothesis would be that the use of hydrolyzed proteins would compensate for the decrease in bioavailability of food proteins caused by gastric By-pass.
