Lagb with Truncal Vagotomy: Any Increased Weight Loss?
Objective: Does truncal vagotomy enhance weight loss when combined with LAGB? Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) causes weight loss primarily through a mechanical restrictive mechanism. The vagus nerve provides connections between the brain and the gut through afferent and hormonal signals that regulate fullness and satiation. Published studies demonstrate clinically significant weight loss in subjects… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass with Primary Repair for Symptomatic Giant Paraesophageal Hernia in Morbid Obesity: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
INTRODUCTION: Primary repair of giant paraesophageal hernias is associated with high failure rates in the morbidly obese patients. A surgical approach to addressing both paraesophageal hernia and morbid obesity has not been explored in the surgical literature. METHODS: Three morbidly obese females (ages 39, 52 and 58 years with BMIs 46.8, 50 and 52.3 respectively)… Continue Reading

Determinants of Resource Utilization in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Multicenter Analysis of 6322 Patients
Objective: Treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity by resource intensive therapy such as Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery (LRYGB) is associated with early increases in healthcare costs. With the increasing frequency of LRYGB being performed and the rising cost of health care, preoperative optimization may reduce resource utilization and these early costs. We sought… Continue Reading

A Proposed Classification System for Gastric Pouch Enlargement Associated with Laparoscopically Placed Adjustable Gastric Bands
INTRODUCTION: As morbid obesity becomes an increasingly frequent medical problem, novel surgical treatments to induce weight loss are being developed. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), well proven to be a safe and effective means of weight loss, is such an example. Many of the complications related to the LAGB involve an excessive amount of… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Gastric Access for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ercp) Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (rygb)
Patients who have undergone roux-en-y gastric bypass may require upper endoscopic evaluation for a variety of reasons which may or may not be related to their surgical procedure. The ability to access the remnant stomach or biliary tree by the traditional transoral route may be only possible through specialized endoscopic or percutanous procedures, or even… 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

Body Composition: Early Changes After Weight Loss Induced By Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.
Objective- To examine the early effects of an oral supplement enriched in beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, arginine and glutamine on body composition after weight loss induced by laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB). There have been several studies demonstrating the late effects of LGB on lean body mass (LBM), fat mass (FM) and bone mineral density (BMD) after LGB but… Continue Reading

Mortality Risk Associated with Insurance Denials in Bariatric Surgery Candidates
Introduction: Increasing numbers of Americans meet medical candidacy criteria for bariatric surgery; however many are denied or delayed because of absence of insurance benefits or administrative hurdles in the pre-approval process. In many cases, patients endure months of delay before coming to a surgical date or giving up. Since morbid obesity carries inherent medical risk,… Continue Reading

Is the Sub-lingual Analgesic Route Overlooked in the Post-operative Bariatric Patient
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the value of the sub-lingual (SL) Zamadol as a potentially beneficial alternative route of administration.Good pain control is crucial for the post-operative bariatric patient since early mobilisation is a priority to minimise the number of avoidable complications such as pneumonia or deep vein thromboses. Obtaining Intra-Venous… Continue Reading

Lapband Placement with Repair of Incidental Hiatal Hernia Using Curved Laparoscopic Instruments Through a Single Incision
Single incision laparoscopic surgery has been increasingly attempted to perform abdominal surgery to avoid placingmany trocars. This is a case presentation of a LapBand placement using this technique with simultaneous repair of an incidentally found hiatal hernia. The case illustrates the advantage of using curved laparoscopic instruments to overcome the ergonomic challenges posed by the… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en- Y Gastric Bypass(LRYGB) and Adjustable Gastric Banding(lagb) for Morbidly Obese Patients in Korea : A Series of 204 Cases
BackgroundObesity is not only a health problem in western countries, but also in Korea. Prevalence of obesity in adults is 32.4% which is a remarkable change over the last 10 yeas. The first LRYGB performed in 2003 and the Lap Band® was approved for use in Korea in 2004. There were no data of gastric… Continue Reading
