Filter by:Adequate postoperative analgesia is difficult to achieve in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Epidural anesthesia is technically difficult due to subcutaneous fat, which increases the risk of serious complications. Moreover, patients in this condition often have comorbidities that require anticoagulation therapy. Although ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block may be useful, it is still controversial. Recently, modified thoracoabdominal nerve block via perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) has been reported as a new and promising technique that provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal wall. The most common reason for hospitalization after laparoscopic surgery is pain after nausea and vomiting. In addition, superficial and tachypneic breathing resulting from the patient's inability to breathe deeply with pain causes closure of small airways and increase in intrapulmonary shunts, resulting in hypoxia. Postoperative pain management is important not only to prevent pain but also to reduce pulmonary complications that may occur due to changes in lung function and to reduce mortality and morbidity by controlling the stress response. In this study, The investigators investigated the effect of modified thoracoabdominal nerve block via perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) on pulmonary function in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under general anesthesia.
The present study aims to design, develop and validate a preoperative calculator for "Textbook Outcome" after bariatric surgery, in order to calculate the possibility of not achieving "Textbook outcome" based on the characteristics of the patient and the proposed surgical technique.
According to the definition of the WHO, obesity is the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in the body. Laparoscopic operations; It is a popular choice for bariatric surgery. A study is planned to determine postoperative early mobilization, postoperative pain and hospital stay in patients hospitalized in Bariatric Surgery post-operative clinics.
By the comparison of the preoperative and postoperative data of approximately 160 patients undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, we try to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of gastric sleeve surgery, expected complication rate.
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study is being conducted to confirm safety, effectiveness, and usability of da Vinci Surgical System in performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures.
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the relationship of physical activity to quality of life and psychological functioning among adults with severe obesity (BMI>40) and 2) evaluate the effects of activity monitoring on changes in physical activity during a 6-week intervention interval.
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has proven to be an effective treatment for morbid obesity by reducing weight and comorbidities. Extending the pouch may improve weightloss without the increase of complications. Some patients regain weight after initially good weightloss. Placing a minimizer around the pouch may prevent weight regain.
Morbid obesity has become a common condition and there is no effective drug that is able to induce a sustained weight loss. Currently bariatric surgery remains the only effective means that is able to lead to long term sustained weight loss. Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the hypophysis that regulates negatively the adipogenesis and positively the osteogenesis. Oxytocin also regulates appetite and its role in weight loss in humans has not been investigated so far. The aim of the present study is to elucidate whether plasma levels of oxytocin and sleeve gastrectomy induced weight loss are correlated in pre-menopausal morbidly obese women.
Bariatric surgery is well established method of treating patients with obesity. Obesity is well-documented risk factor for many health conditions including some cancer, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases and type-2 diabetes. Bariatric surgery is associated with improved comorbidities, quality of life and survival in severe obesity. However, the rate of conversion or revisional bariatric surgeries is increasing nowadays. Recent date estimate the rate of revisional procedures between 8-25% of all bariatric surgeries performed worldwide. Weight recidivism or fail to achieve a significant weight loss (estimated 10-20% of operated patients) remains a challenge for surgeons and patients. This has economic and health implications, leading to reduction in quality of life and increased prevalence of obesity-related comorbid conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identified patients with failure after primary bariatric procedure in population of Poland.
Background: Morbid obesity is associated with decreased brain µ-opioid receptor availability, possibly resulting in higher food intake needed to gain pleasure from eating. This decrease seems to normalize already 6 months after bariatric surgery, but the longer-term effects have not been studied. Obesity and insulin resistance result in significantly increased brain insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, whereas in every other tissue glucose uptake is lower. One possible explanation to this could be central inflammation and activation of brain glial cells, which has been shown to occur in animal models of obesity. Obesity has also been shown to associate with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline in several studies. Aims: The first objective of this study is to both study the effects of bariatric surgery as well as compare the effects of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on food-associated pleasure, extending the follow-up period to 2 years postoperatively. The second aim is to investigate the effect of morbid obesity and weight loss on brain inflammation and gliosis and its association with increased brain insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Furthermore, association of obesity, insulin resistance, central inflammation and neurocognitive dysfunction are evaluated.
