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.
This is an interventional pilot study aimed to evaluate the use of NIF imaging as an intraoperative aid to assess the anastomotic blood flow to the gastric pouch and gastrojejunostomy during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and to determine its long-term impact on the rate of marginal ulceration, leaks and stricture.
Lung ultrasonography is an easy-to-use, portable, non-invasive, visual, and non-radiative technique that has been widely used in clinical monitoring and diagnosis. Many studies have demonstrated that pulmonary ultrasonography can evaluate the degree of aeration loss and diagnose atelectasis accurately by using a validated semiquantitative score in the perioperative period, and lung ultrasonic imaging can be conducive to confirming the effects of lung recruitment manoeuvres. This clinical trial suggested that the use of ultrasound-guided recruitment maneuver in morbidly obese patients scheduled for laparoscopic bariatric surgery can improve the lung aeration, decrease the incidence of basal lung atelectasis, decrease the incidence of intraoperative& postoperative oxygen desaturation, and reduce the incidence of post operative pulmonary complications. The aim of this prospective randomized clinical study is to compare the conventional recruitment manoeuvre and ultrasound-guided recruitment manoeuvre in morbidly obese patients scheduled for laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
In this prospective study the investigators aim to identify preoperative predictors of improvement of metabolic health and weight loss after bariatric surgery focusing on inflammation, insulin sensitivity (in a subgroup of patients), glucoregulatory determinants, psychological traits, feeding behavior characteristics and cardiorespiratory fitness
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
Around 20% of the obese patients with higher body mass index (BMI) who are taken off the breathing tube and breathing machine (ventilator) end up needing it back to support breathing. The re-application of breathing tube is associated with poor outcomes, including high risk of pneumonia, longer hospital stays, and death. The purpose of this study is to assess if prophylactic use of noninvasive breathing support after removing the breathing tube lowers the chance of needing the breathing tube again.
The aim of this pilot prospective interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) in allowing obese subjects (≥35 kg/m2) with end stage renal disease who need of kidney transplantation to reduce their BMI below 35 in order to be inserted in the waiting list BMI. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is the procedure effective in reducing BMI to the target level in 12 months? Which is the effect on weight loss, quality of life and obesity-related comorbidities? Participants will undergo ESG as per standard clinical practice and followed up to 12 months before transplantation and for 12 months after transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the impact of weight-loss surgery on telomere length. Telomeres are a key marker of biological aging of cells. Telomere shortening is a natural process of aging. Several pathologies and lifestyles are associated with premature telomere shortening, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus or sedentary lifestyle. New evidence supports that telomere shortening can be partially reversed by lifestyle changes such as healthy diet, reduced stress, or increased physical activity.
