Laparoscopic Duodeno-jejunal Bypass (ldjb) As a Surgical Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Non Obese Patients. Early Experience.
Introduction: We know from bariatric surgical literature that all bariatric surgical techniques resolve diabetes (T2DM) from 73% to 98% in obese patients, this resolution occurs among days to weeks after surgery. Based on Dr. Rubino’s research on animals, LDJB has been proposed as an alternative of treatment for T2DM in non obese patients.Objective: To confirm… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Esophagomyotomy for Achalasia After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Morbid Obesity
Obesity has become a national epidemic and the only proven long-term method of weight loss is surgery. The laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the most common bariatric procedure performed in the United States. Achalasia, a swallowing disorder of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is uncommonly found in obese patients or formerly obese patients. Definitive surgical… 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

Laparoscopic Linear Stapler Latero-lateral Esophagojejunostomy After Total Gastrectomy for Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer Syndrome
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition manifesting as a diffuse infiltrating poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Seen usually in young adults and results from a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene Spell please (CDH-1) that normally encodes for E-Cadherin. This condition is managed by meticulous regular surveillance for early detection and treatment of… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Repair of a Paraesophageal Hernia After Gastric Bypass for Morbid Obesity with Repair of an Incidental Internal Hernia and Gastro-gastric Fistula.
Background: This video illustrates the use of laparoscopic techniques to repair a paraesophageal hernia after roux-en-y gastric bypass as well as repair of both an internal hernia and a gastro-gastric fistula that were discovered at the time of surgery. Case Report: We present a fifty-year-old female with a history of prior roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGBP)… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Revision After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Pouch Enlargement
Some patients that have had a gastric bypass display a distension of the gastric pouch that may participate to weight regain. We studied the impact of pouch size reduction on weight changes.Seven patients aged 42.9±8.9 yrs, with an initial BMI of 42.5±5.7, who had had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were reoperated on from June… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Revision of Antireflux Surgery to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Morbidly Obese Patients
Introduction: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is an effective treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients. However, LRYGB in patients with a previous anti-reflux procedure may present a significant technical challenge. We aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic revision from anti-reflux procedures to LRYGB in a series of morbidly… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Short Term Weight Loss Outcomes At a Military Treatment Facility
Introduction: Short term weight loss outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LGB) are not found in large numbers within the literature. This study establishes a weight loss curve that individual patients may be compared to at follow up visits. Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of all patients receiving LGB from the initial inception of… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Retrospective Review of 1 and 2 Year Results
IntroductionLaparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Gastric Banding, and Biliopancreatic/Duodenal Switch are three proven surgical methods for treating morbid obesity. Recently, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) has been added as a surgical treatment for obesity. We report our one and two year results with LSG.MethodsAll procedures were performed by two surgeons experienced in bypass, banding, and LSG. All patients… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy As Treatment for Patients with Morbid Obesity with Concurrent Paraesophageal Hernia
Introduction: The management of paraesophageal hernia in patients undergoing bariatric surgery is controversial. Previously, treatment options have included performance of the procedures either in separate sequential operations, or concurrent performance of cruroplasty with either Roux-en Y gastric bypass or placement of an adjustable gastric band. We report our experience with simultaneous performance of cruroplasty and… 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
