Filter by:Following laparoscopic bariatric surgery, multimodal analgesia is recommended to avoid the adverse effects of opioids by reducing their use. Although lidocaine, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuvant analgesics, no studies have evaluated the superiority of their intra- and postoperative infusions as components of multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery. The present study is aimed to compare lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine in multimodal analgesia management following Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery. Postoperative pain scores, the requirement for additional postoperative analgesia, retching, nausea and vomiting, time to mobilization, and hospital length of stay will be evaluated.
Background: Bikini line laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe method, used as a scarless cosmetic port technique for gall bladder diseases in morbid obese patients as a day case. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of an elective Bikini line laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the morbid obese patients with chronic calcular cholecystitis, and review our experience with Bikini line laparoscopic cholecystectomy as minimal invasive scarless technique. We issued a modifications in order to minimize the number of ports (Brief ports) and modify port sites, using the Bikini line laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a cosmetic and hidden scar laparoscopy for obese patients concerned with aesthetic results and body image. Aiming at faster recovery, decrease pain and improve cosmoses. Bikini Line laparoscopic cholecystectomy is technically safe and effective day surgery procedure for chronic cholecystitis patients with higher patient satisfaction regarding pain and cosmoses. Obesity, intended as BMI 40, does not have any obstacle on the technical feasibility of BLLC.
Currently, one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) or mini-gastric bypass (MGB) is a common bariatric procedure for treating obesity. Weight gain after surgery is a big problem in bariatric practice. Therefore, adjustable bands and rings are used, for example, "FobiRing". But foreign material can cause complications - the erosion of the stomach wall. For this reason, surgeons avoid the use of various mechanical devices on living tissues. The greatest criticism is of the OAGB for the likelihood of biliary reflux. In case of reflux of bile into the esophagus after surgery, as a rule, a second operation is required with conversion OAGB to the Roux-en-Y method. In addition, along with obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are steadily increasing world weight and antireflux surgery must be performed simultaneously with bariatric surgery in obese patients. In these cases, most often in bariatric practice, hiatus cruroraphy is performed, and less often fundoplication using the fundus of the excluded part of the stomach. We hypothesize that total fundoplication can not only treat GERD but also significant prevent the return of weight like after a banded gastric bypass and prevent postoperative bile reflux in the esophagus. The aim study is to compare primary outcome as weight loss after total wrapping of the fundus of the gastric excluded part (FundoRing) and non - wrapping (non - banded) standard method of laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass and measure secondary outcome: bile reflux in the esophagus and GERD symptoms. Methods: Adult participants (n=1000) are randomly allocated to one of two groups: Experimental surgical bariatric procedure in the first (A) group: patients (n=500) undergo the laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass with the total wrapping of the fundus of gastric excluded part and suture cruroplasty if present hiatal hernia (FundoRingOAGB group); Active comparator surgical bariatric procedure in the second (B) group: patients (n=500) undergo the laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass and with only suture cruroplasty if present hiatal hernia (OAGB group).
in all loop bypass bariatric procedure (mini gastric bypass & single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass), biliary limb is fixed length. we do it as a percentage from total small intestine length rather than fixed length
single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass with hiatal repair for morbid obesity with reflux manifestations
Epidemiological studies show a very rapid increase in the epidemic of obesity in the Caribbean population. 6 out of 10 adults are overweight and 1 out of 4 is obese. Most are women. Consequences : harm to health and possible reduction in life expectancy due to the association with many cardiovascular comorbidities. Adverse effects of obesity on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems are attributed a chronic low-grade inflammatory state in obese patients. Visceral adipose tissue is largely responsible for the inflammatory syndrome. Obesity can also induce the formation of multi-protein platforms called inflammasomes also activated by mitochondrial production. Morbid obesity treatment with sleeve gastrectomy is an effective long term therapeutic for weight loss but also beneficial in terms of insulin resistance and cardiovascular complications. Some patients nevertheless remain resistant to the beneficial cardio-metabolic effects of bariatric surgery. However, the mechanisms that regulate the extent of weight loss and its stabilization after bariatric surgery are still poorly understood. Our study aims to describe the evolution of postoperative weight loss and the place of preoperative inflammation in its amplitude. The hypothesis is that the level of inflammation in visceral fat before surgery determines the extent of postoperative weight loss in obese women who have undergone sleeve gastrectomy.
A retrospective review of body composition outcomes of participants of a comprehensive visceral-fat focused anti-obesity program. Data from approximately 2000-2500 participants are expected to be included in the study.
Comorbidities associated with severe obesity determine an important public health problem. Few methods are considered potentially effective for the treatment of severe obesity and the clinical relevance of bariatric surgery is growing, as well as the number of procedures performed. The insertion of the physiotherapist in the multiprofessional team responsible for performing the surgical procedure is essential from the preoperative screening and evaluation to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications. Therefore, the physiopathological aspects involved with severe obesity, the technical aspects and risks of the surgical procedure, as well as the physiotherapeutic techniques that have scientific proof must be known by the physiotherapist responsible for the surgical follow-up of the patient. In this context, the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery has ample therapeutic potential. The present research project aims to evaluate the immediate prophylactic use of NIV on the respiratory and functional recovery of the patients.
It is a consensus in the literature that changes in lifestyle and carbohydrate-rich diet are part of a context that has led to an obesity pandemic. Its treatment is multidisciplinary, however, in many cases, conventional therapy has no effect, requiring surgical intervention. The latter, in turn, is not free of risks and causes important changes in lung function. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of electroanalgesia through conventional transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) on pulmonary function in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on pancreatic alpha and beta-cell function and for the sensitivity of incretin hormones in patients with pre-operative type 2 diabetes. Primary hypotheses: - After RYGB, the sensitivity to GLP-1 and GIP is improved (improved insulinotropic effect). - After RYGB, the insulin secretion improves during an oral glucose tolerance test within 3 months postoperatively. - After RYGB, the insulin secretion during intraveneous stimulation with glucose or non-glucose (arginin) is unchanged.
