Intussusception Complicating Post Gastric Bypass Pregnancy
OBJECTIVE: Only 10 cases of intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery and 11 cases of intussusception complicating pregnancy have been reported in the literature with one previous case common to both groups. We present an unusual case of intussusception complicating pregnancy following open RYGB. METHODS: 34-year-old female had a normal vaginal delivery at full… Continue Reading

Splenic Upper Pole Ischemia Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: First Case Report
Introduction: Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy is relatively new surgical therapy for morbid obesity. The spleen receives it blood supply from the splenic artery and the short gastric vessels. We are reporting a first case of splenic upper pole ischemia following resection of the short gastric arteries in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Material and method: Gastrectomy and related… Continue Reading

Anastomotic Leak After Gastric Bypass for Morbid Obesity: Laparoscopic Management.
INTRODUCTION – Postoperative anastomotic leak after bariatric surgery is of low incidence but it has significant morbidity and mortality. This complication is often treated by open surgical means. We present our experience with laparoscopic management of anastomotic leak after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LGB).METHODS AND PROCEDURES –We retrospectively reviewed all anastomotic leak cases after LGB… Continue Reading

Does Visceral Fat Resection Give an Additional Benefit to Gastric Banding
Background Although the function of visceral fat has gradually become clear, the effect of visceral fat resection is still unknown. The aim of this study is to clarify the additional effect of visceral fat resection in an obese rat model of gastric banding. Methods Fourty male Zucker fatty rats were followed for 8 weeks after… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Early Outcomes At a Military Training Center
Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has recently gained support as a single-staged and stand-alone bariatric procedure. Reports of excess weight loss of 51-83%, reduction in patient co-morbidities, and decreased operative morbidity compared to laparoscopic gastric bypass have garnered support for LSG. This study represents an initial outcome analysis of LSG performed solely at a military… Continue Reading

A Comparison Study of 100 Consecutive Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypasses and 100 Lap-bands During the Learning Curve
The learning curve for laparoscopic gastric bypass has been estimated at 100 cases. We compared data from the first 100 consecutive laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypasses (LRYGB) with the first 100 consecutive laparoscopic adjustable gastric bands (LAGB) in a minimally invasive fellowship-trained surgeon's experience upon joining an established bariatric practice. Results: Patients undergoing LRYGB were slightly… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass At a Major Military Medical Center: Safe, Effective, and More Cost Efficient
Introduction: Morbid obesity is a major healthcare problem in the United States. Morbid obesity affects military dependents and retirees as well. Laparoscopic bariatric surgery has been performed at Wright Patterson Medical Center (WPMC) for two years. We hypothesize that laparoscopic RNY gastric bypass (LRNY) can be performed at a military medical center with equivalent outcomes… Continue Reading

Bariatric Support Line: A Prospective Study of Telephone Activity.
IntroductionIt is widely reported that support is a key element affecting patient outcomes following Bariatric surgery. At NLOSS part of this support is through a telephone helpline, which is manned by the Bariatric Nurse Specialist (K McD). In this prospective study we examined the workload of the telephone helpline. MethodsThe phone line was staffed between08.30… Continue Reading

Vagotomy Vs Nonvagotomy in Gastric Bypass Surgery
Objective: Post bariatric symptoms related to dumping syndrome were compared in Nonvagotomized Laparoscopic Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (NVLGB) patients and Vagotomized Laparoscopic Roux en Y Gastric Bypass (VLGB) patients.Methods: A questionnaire was given to patients during follow up appointments at 24 to 30 months after LRYGB treated with both NVLGB and VLGB. 48 responses… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Management of Eroded Prosthesis in Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Patients
Introduction:One of the major complications of applying a prosthetic device to facilitate gastric partitioning has been intra-luminal erosion of the prosthesis. Removing an eroded gastric band is fraught with difficulty secondary to the extensive inflammatory response around the proximal stomach and left lobe of the liver. As a result, bariatric clinicians have attempted to apply… Continue Reading

Morbidly Obese Patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Perform As Well As Matched Controls After 1 Year Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Objective: Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an important diagnosis in the Veterans Affairs Health System, where obesity is common. There is little available data describing the impact of PTSD on outcomes following weight loss surgery in morbidly obese patients. Conversely, the mental health effect of weight loss surgery in these patients is unclear. In… Continue Reading
