Most marginal ulcers resolve with medical management and lifestyle changes, but in the rare case of a non-healing marginal ulcer there are few treatment options. Revision of the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis carries significant morbidity with complication rates ranging from 10 to 50%. Thoracoscopic truncal vagotomy (TTV) may be a safer alternative with decreased operative times. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TTV in comparison to GJ revision for treatment of recalcitrant marginal ulcers. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients who required surgical intervention for non-healing marginal ulcers was performed from 1 September 2012 to 1 September 2017. All underwent medical therapy along with lifestyle changes prior to intervention and had preoperative EGD that demonstrated a recalcitrant marginal ulcer. Revision of the GJ anastomosis or TTV was performed. Data collected included operative time, ulcer recurrence, morbidity rate, and mortality rate. Results Twenty patients were identified who underwent either GJ revision (n = 13) or TTV (n = 7). There were no 30-day mortalities in either group.

  • Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Information
    1441 Constitution Boulevard, Salinas, CA 93906 (831) 783-2556 | www.natividad.com/weight-loss Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Information What is gastric bypass surgery? Vertical sleeve gastrectomy, a type of bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), is a surgical procedure that alters the process of digestion. Bariatric surgery is the only option today that effectively treats morbid obesity in people for whom more conservative measures such as diet, exercise, and medication have failed. The vertical sleeve gastrectomy involves stapling the stomach to create a small tubular pouch (about the size of a banana) that serves as the “new” stomach, then surgically removing the larger part of the stomach. This is referred to as a restrictive procedure because the size of the stomach is reduced so that the amount of food that can be eaten is “restricted” due to the smaller stomach. There is less risk for nutritional deficiencies with this procedure than with gastric bypass surgery. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) VSG is a solely restrictive bariatric procedure. This surgery can result in three- quarters of extra weight loss within three years. The procedure involves stapling the stomach to create a small tube that holds less food than the full size stomach. This laparoscopic procedure uses several small incisions and three or more laparoscopes - small thin tubes with video cameras attached - to visualize the inside of the abdomen during the operation. The surgeon performs the surgery while looking at a TV monitor. Persons with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 55 or more or those who have already had some type of abdominal surgery are usually not considered for this technique.

Correspondence to: Emre Gündoğdu, MD, FEBS. Assistant Professor of Surgery, Department of Surgery, Medical School, Istinye University, Istanbul, Turkey. Email: [email protected]; [email protected]. Abstract: Gastric banding is based on the principle of forming a small volume pouch near the stomach by wrapping the fundus with various synthetic grafts. The main purpose is to limit oral intake. Due to the fact that it is a reversible surgery, ease of application and early results, the adjustable gastric band (AGB) operation has become common practice for the last 20 years. Many studies have shown that the effectiveness of LAGB has comparable results with other procedures in providing weight loss. Early studies have shown that short term complications after LAGB are particularly low when compared to the other complicated procedures. Even compared to RYGB and LSG, short-term results of LAGB have been shown to be significantly superior. However, as long-term results began to emerge, such as failure in weight loss, increased weight regain and long-term complication rates, interest in the procedure disappeared. The rate of revisional operations after LAGB is rapidly increasing today and many surgeons prefer to convert it to another bariatric procedure, such as RYGB or LSG, for revision surgery in patients with band removed after LAGB.

  • Assessment of the Correlation Between Gastric Morphology, Gastric Emptying, Post Prandial GLP-1 Response, and Hunger Scores Following Longitudinal Sleeve Gastrectomy
    Assessment of the correlation between gastric morphology, gastric emptying, post prandial GLP-1 response, and hunger scores following longitudinal sleeve gastrectomy Summary: Longitudinal sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most commonly performed bariatric operation. While the physiological mechanism by which LSG causes weight loss is unclear, early investigations indicate LSG causes augmention in the flow of nutrients through the stomach. Our preliminary investigations lead us to believe LSG accelerates gastric emptying, which augments the postprandial secretion of midgut hormones, such as glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and satiety. We hypothesize the extent to which LSG induces this physiologic effect can be predicted by the morphology of the stomach following resection. We propose to directly test the impact of post surgical gastric morphology on gastric emptying, Glp-1 levels, and hunger/satiety, with the following specific aims: 1) Use dynamic MRI to measure stomach morphology 2) Use dynamic MRI to assess the kinetic rate of gastric emptying, the rate and amplitude of antral contraction, and presence of akinesis/hypokinesis of any segment of the gastric wall 3) Assess levels of Glp-1 in response to a mixed meal challenge 4) Assess hunger in response to a mixed meal challenge using a visual analog scale We propose to study the above before and three months following LSG. Our hope is that the knowledge gained will allow for a) refinement of the technique of LSG to improve weight loss and/or decrease complications, b) development of novel and less invasive interventions that mimic the physiologic effect of LSG, and c) exploration of LSG as a treatment for gastroparesis.

  • Clinical Policy: Bariatric Surgery
    Clinical Policy: Bariatric Surgery Reference Number: WA.CP.MP.37 Coding Implications Last Review Date: 06/21 Revision Log Effective Date: 08/01/2021 See Important Reminder at the end of this policy for important regulatory and legal information. Description There are two categories of bariatric surgery: restrictive procedures and malabsorptive procedures. Gastric restrictive procedures include procedures where a small pouch is created in the stomach to restrict the amount of food that can be eaten, resulting in weight loss. The laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are examples of restrictive procedures. Malabsorptive procedures bypass portions of the stomach and intestines causing incomplete digestion and absorption of food. Duodenal switch is an example of a malabsorptive procedure. Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), and biliopancreatic diversion with gastric reduction duodenal switch (BPD-GRDS) are examples of restrictive and malabsorptive procedures. Policy/Criteria It is the policy of Coordinated Care of Washington, Inc., in accordance with WAC 182-531-1600, that the only covered bariatric surgery for patients age >= 18 and < 21 years, is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. It is the policy of Coordinated Care of Washington, Inc., in accordance with the Health Care Authority’s Health Technology Assessment, that bariatric surgery is covered only if the service is provided by a facility that is accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). Coordinated Care may authorize up to 34 units of a bariatric case management service as part of the Stage II bariatric surgery approval.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using a questionnaire sent to all bariatric surgeons (n ϭ 43) in Israel. Results: Eight surgeons reported on 17 cases in which intraoperative nasogastric/orogastric tube (n ϭ 8), temperature probe (n ϭ 6), or bougie stapling (n ϭ 3) was identified. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed in 14 patients and laparoscopic gastric bypass in 3 patients. The patient demographics, operative details, and postoperative results are reported. Conclusion: Tube/probe complications can occur during laparoscopic bariatric surgery but are seldom reported. However, they can be associated with significant morbidity. The treatment options are dependent on the situation. More importantly, prevention strategies must include constant communication with the anesthesiologist and removal or relocation of a tube before stapling or suturing.

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy Rapidly Enhances Islet Function Independently of Body Weight
    Sleeve gastrectomy rapidly enhances islet function independently of body weight Jonathan D. Douros, … , Jonathan Campbell, David D’Alessio JCI Insight. 2019;4(6):e126688. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.126688. Research Article Endocrinology Metabolism Bariatric surgeries including vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) ameliorate obesity and diabetes. Weight loss and accompanying increases to insulin sensitivity contribute to improved glycemia after surgery; however, studies in humans also suggest weight-independent actions of bariatric procedures to lower blood glucose, possibly by improving insulin secretion. To evaluate this hypothesis, we compared VSG-operated mice with pair-fed, sham-surgical controls (PF-Sham) 2 weeks after surgery. This paradigm yielded similar postoperative body weight and insulin sensitivity between VSG and calorically restricted PF-Sham animals. However, VSG improved glucose tolerance and markedly enhanced insulin secretion during oral nutrient and i.p. glucose challenges compared with controls. Islets from VSG mice displayed a unique transcriptional signature enriched for genes involved in Ca2+ signaling and insulin secretion pathways. This finding suggests that bariatric surgery leads to intrinsic changes within the islet that alter function. Indeed, islets isolated from VSG mice had increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and a left-shifted glucose sensitivity curve compared with islets from PF-Sham mice. Isolated islets from VSG animals showed corresponding increases in the pulse duration of glucose-stimulated Ca2+ oscillations. Together, these findings demonstrate a weight-independent improvement in glycemic control following VSG, which is, in part, driven by improved insulin secretion and associated with substantial changes in islet gene expression. These results support a model in which β cells play a key role in the adaptation […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/126688/pdf RESEARCH ARTICLE Sleeve gastrectomy rapidly enhances islet function independently of body weight Jonathan D.
