Filter by:Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is currently the most frequent primary bariatric procedure performed worldwide. LSG is a safe and effective technique in terms of excess weight loss and it is, moreover, a powerful metabolic operation that activates significant hormonal pathways that lead to changes in eating behavior, glycemic control and intestinal functions.Regarding a technical point of view, LSG might be considered a time saving procedure for the absence of intestinal anastomosis. The most frequent and sometimes dangerous complications are leaking, hemorrhage, splenic injury, stenosis and Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Despite its established efficacy and safety, dispute still exists on the optimal conduction of LSG operative technique: bougie size, distance of resection margin from the pylorus, the shape of section at the gastroesophageal junction, staple line reinforcement and intraoperative leak testing are among the most controversial issues . Thus, the primary aim of the present retrospective multicentric study is to evaluate intra and peri-operatory (< 30 days) and post-operative (> 30 days) morbidity and mortality rates of patients undergone LSG, and the correlation of the latter rates with different surgical measures. Secondary aim is to evaluate the strategy for the treatment of the complication, and if there is a correlation between morbidity/mortality and volume of the Bariatric Center
This study try to identify differences in length of operation, weight loss and complications, between two different bariatric surgical techniques, the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y banded gastric bypass. The study will be conducted in a Spanish public health system hospital. The patients of the trial will have the preoperative studies, hospital treatment during the admission, postoperative treatment and follow up as any other patient included in the hospital bariatric surgery program. The study cases will have placed around the gastric pouch a band of polypropylene mesh, and will be randomly choose between the participants. Patients will be randomized in a 5/3 (study/control) ratio.
