Outcome Analysis of 100 Patients Undergoing Single-incision Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
Introduction Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), a new trend in minimally invasive surgery, has the potential for decreased post-operative pain and port site complications as well as improved cosmesis. To date, only case reports and small series have been published regarding the technique and safety of this approach. We present a large series of SILS insertion… Continue Reading

Outcomes of Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass As a Primary Versus Revisional Bariatric Surgery.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) as a primary (CG) versus revisional bariatric surgery (RBS). METHODS: Data of 514 consecutive patients who underwent LRYGB by one surgeon between August 2004 and June 2009 as primary (n=481, 93.6%) or RBS (n=33, 6.4%) were compared. Collected… Continue Reading

Patient Perceptions of Band Adjustments After Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
Introduction: Adjustments are an integral part of the success of the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Without these adjustments, successful weight loss is not possible. Fear and pain could create barriers for patients to receive their proper band adjustments. It is important to understand the patient’s perception of adjustments. The objective of this study was to… Continue Reading

Patients Expect to Lose More Than Average Weight After Bariatric Surgery
Background: While most bariatric surgeons try to help patient achieve a realistic goal weight after surgery, patients are often disappointed that they have not reached “ideal” body weight. We propose that this is because patients begin the surgical process with inflated self expectations and set themselves up for disappointment.Methods and Procedures: At the University of… Continue Reading

Progressive Resistance Training to Improve Strength, Fitness and Metabolic Health in Weight Loss Surgery Patients
INTRODUCTION: Severe obesity is associated with sedentary behavior, low fitness, and metabolic dysmetabolism. Exercise can improve strength, fitness, and metabolic health independent of weight loss in obese patients. Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) is particularly beneficial in modifying body composition, developing musculoskeletal strength, and improving metabolic health. To date, there has been no investigation that measures… Continue Reading

Prophylactic Inferior Vena Cava Filters in High-risk Bariatric Surgery
Objective: High-risk patients are at significant risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and may benefit from the addition of retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCF) to chemoprophylaxis. However, the optimal VTE prophylaxis has not been established in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. This observational study examines the use of rIVCFs in combination with chemoprophylaxis for… Continue Reading

Results of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Background: In Iran, the type and main cause of obesity is different than in western society. Therefore, the treatment plan should be differentiated, and the type of surgery for morbid obesity should be carefully chosen. In most western centers laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) is the most effective weight loss surgical procedure performed. However, LRYGBP… Continue Reading

Review of Rygb Versus Fundoplication for Gerd in Obese Patients
Introduction: Studies evaluating the effectiveness of Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) in morbidly obese patients have yielded mixed results. Many authors now advocat Laparoscopic RYGB as the surgical treatment of choice for morbidly obese patients with GERD as it has the advantage of treating the GERD as well as the common obesity-related comorbid conditions. The purpose… Continue Reading

Routine Drain Placement in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: An Expanded Retrospective Comparative Study of 755 Patients.
Aim: Routine use of a flat, perforated bulb-suction drain after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) was practiced at our institution until 2 1/2 years ago, when a patient experienced an intestinal obstruction due to the drain itself. Considering our low leak rate during the period in which drains were used, and evidence that drains were… Continue Reading

Sagb Tube Infection Mimicing Acute Appendicitis After Tube Deconection Due to Injection Porte Infection – a Case Report
BACKGROUND: Obesity is an increasingly common condition with serious associated morbidity and decreased life expectancy. Swedish adjustable gastric banding (SAGB) is effective in inducing weight loss, as well as being minimally invasive, totally reversible, and adjustable to the patient's needs.CASE REPORT: A 23-year old morbidly obese (BMI 40) female patient underwent adjustable gastric banding with… Continue Reading

Sclerotherapy Treatment for Weight Gain with Dilated Gastro-jejunostomy Following Roux En Y Gastric Bypass: How Many Treatments?
Introduction:Treatment of weight regain following Roux en Y Gastric Bypass using sclerotherapy has been demonstrated to be effective in stabilizing or providing moderate weight reduction. Optimum number of sclerotherapy treatments remains undefined. A retrospective review of patients with previous RYGB and weight regain (>10 lbs) who underwent at least one sclerotherapy treatment for a gastrojejunostomy… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Gastric Banding: Evolution Towards Scarless Surgery During 50 Consecutive Cases
INTRODUCTION: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) may prove beneficial but techniques are still evolving. The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes associated with a SILS approach for adjustable gastric banding (AGB) for morbid obesity.METHODS: We conducted an IRB-approved retrospective review of our first 50 consecutive SILS AGB procedures attempted over an 18-month period.… Continue Reading

Single Port Access for Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding with Regular Laparoscopic Instruments Is Feasible and Economic.
Introduction: Single Port Access (SPA) has been gaining popularity among patients due to the cosmotic benefits. SPA contradicts the basic rules for laparoscopic ports insertion locations. Special articulating instruments are expensive and adds more dollars to the health care bills. Materials and Methods: In our institution we performed 21 single port access using the regular… Continue Reading
