    A matched cohort analysis of single anastomosis loop duodenal switch versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 18-month follow-up - Springer Search Submit Article Surgical Endoscopy pp 1-7 First online: 22 December 2015 A matched cohort analysis of single anastomosis loop duodenal switch versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 18-month follow-up Austin Cottam, Daniel Cottam , Walter Medlin, Christina Richards, Samuel Cottam, Hinali Zaveri, Amit Surve 10.1007/s00464-015-4707-7 Copyright information Abstract Background The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) has been considered the gold standard for many years. The loop duodenal switch (LDS) is a relatively new procedure that simplifies the complexity of the duodenal switch (BPDDS) by making it a single anastomosis procedure while at the same time giving it more intestinal absorption to reduce the rates of malnutrition associated with traditional BPDDS. This paper seeks to compare the 18-month weight loss outcomes and complications of the more standard GBP with the newer LDS in a single US center. Methods A retrospective matched cohort was analyzed on 108 patients who had either GBP (54 patients) or LDS (54 patients). Regression analysis was used to compare weight loss outcomes as measured by BMI and weight loss percentages. Complications gathered included bleeds, reoperations, diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy (EGD), ulcers and chronic nausea. Results GBP and LDS have statistically similar weight loss at 18 months (39.6 vs 41 % weight loss, respectively). However, there were significantly more nausea complaints (26 vs 5), diagnostic endoscopies (EGD) (21 vs 3) and ulcers (6 vs 0) with the GBP than the LDS.

DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Houston, Texas, USA The prevalence of severe obesity in both the general and the chronic kidney disease (CKD) populations continues to rise, with more than one-fifth of CKD patients in the United States having a body mass index of $35 kg/m2. Severe obesity has significant renal consequences, including increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and nephrolithiasis. Bariatric surgery represents an effective method for achieving sustained weight loss, and evidence from randomized controlled trials suggests that bariatric surgery is also effective in improving blood pressure, reducing hyperglycemia, and even inducing diabetes remis- sion. There is also observational evidence suggesting that bariatric surgery may diminish the long-term risk of kidney function decline and ESRD. Bariatric surgery appears to be relatively safe in patients with CKD, with postoperative complications only slightly higher than in the general bariatric surgery popula- tion. The use of bariatric surgery in patients with CKD might help prevent progression to ESRD or enable selected ESRD patients with severe obesity to become candidates for kidney transplantation.

They were related to DNA and protein content. The protein/DNA ratio fell 28-43 % postoperatively. Except for ileal lactase and sucrase all enzymes showed decreased levels when expressed per mg protein and an even more pronounced decrease when related to DNA. Lactase and sucrase levels in ileum were increased or unchanged. A constant correlation between the amount of immunoreactive enzyme protein and enzymatic activity was shown for all enzymes except maltase. The results suggest that the bypass operation is followed http://gut.bmj.com/ by an increased amount of enterocytes devoid of or low in enzymatic activity and protein content. The amounts of lactase and sucrase in ileum are increased in relation to the other enzymes.

  • Internal Hernia After Revisional Laparoscopic Loop Duodenal Switch
    Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases ] (2015) 00–00 Case report Internal hernia after revisional laparoscopic loop duodenal switch surgery Christina Summerhays, Daniel Cottam, M.D.*, Austin Cottam Bariatric Medicine Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah Received August 11, 2015; accepted August 20, 2015 Keywords: Internal hernia; Loop duodenal switch; Revision; Gastric bypass; BPD/DS Loop duodenal switch (LDS) is a new surgical technique that allows surgeons to perform a duodenal switch with less effort and fewer complications [1]. Although Torres describes the potential for internal hernias (IHs) that may accompany the procedure, his study never found evidence of hernias. Single anastomotic techniques, LDS, and mini gastric bypass have never been associated with internal herniation in the literature [2–4]. What is being reported in this article is a first for this type of procedure. Case report A 35-year-old woman was presented to the hospital with burping, a burning sensation in her chest, and abdominal pain. The patient was on antireflux medication and had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) done 6 years ago, which had resulted in minimal weight loss. She wanted the RYGB reversed because of chronic pain from ulcers. She underwent an uncomplicated repair of the hiatal hernia and then the reversal of the RYGB as described by Gagner [5]. However, instead of performing a regular biliary pancreatic diversion with duodenal switch surgery Fig. 1. A simple anatomy drawing of the loop duodenal switch.

    A History of Bariatric Surgery The Maturation of a Medical Discipline Adam C. Celio, MD, Walter J. Pories, MD* KEYWORDS Bariatric Obesity Metabolic surgery Intestinal bypass Gastric bypass Gastric sleeve Gastric band Gastric balloon KEY POINTS The history of bariatric surgery, one of the great medical advances of the last century, again documents that science progresses not as a single idea by one person, but rather in small collaborative steps that take decades to accept. Bariatric surgery, now renamed “metabolic surgery,” has, for the first time, provided cure for some of the most deadly diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, severe obesity, NASH, and hyperlipidemias, among others, that were previously considered incurable and for which there were no effective therapies. With organization, a common database, and certification of centers of excellence, bariat- ric surgery, once one of the most dangerous operations, is now performed throughout the United States with the same safety as a routine cholecystectomy. RECOGNITION Obesity is now a worldwide public health problem, an epidemic, with increasing inci- dence and prevalence, high costs, and associated comorbidities.1 Although the genes from our ancestors were helpful in times of potential famine, now in times of plenty, they have contributed to obesity.1–4 The history of obesity is related to the history of food; the human diet has changed considerably over the last 700,000 years. Our an- cestors at one time were hunter-gatherers, consuming large and small game along with nuts and berries. Their diets were high in protein and their way of life was stren- uous; they were well suited for times of famine.

Guzmán1,2 Published online: 17 April 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Background Obesity and rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery (BS) are independent risk factors for development of choleli- thiasis (CL), a prevalent disease in the Chilean population. This study aimed to determine the incidence of CL in obese Chilean patients 12 months after BS and identify risk factors for development of gallstones. Methods Retrospective study of patients who underwent BS in 2014. Patients with preoperative negative abdominal ultrasound (US) for CL and follow-up for at least than 12 months were included. Patients underwent US at 6 months and 12 months. We analyzed sex, age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, body mass index (BMI), surgical procedure, percentage of excess BMI loss (%EBMIL) at 6 months, and BMI at 6 months. Results Of 279 patients who underwent bariatric surgery during 2014, 66 had previous gallbladder disease and 176 met the inclusion criteria (82.6%), while 54.6% were female. The mean age was 37.8 ± 10.5 years and preoperative BMI was 37.5 kg/m2. BMI and %EBMIL at 6 months were 27.8 ± 3.3 kg/m2 and 77.9 ± 33.6%, respectively. At 12 months after BS, CL was found in 65 patients (36.9%). Hypertension turned out to be protective against occurrence of gallstones at 1 year with an OR 0.241.

  • The Before Your Weight Loss Surgery Presentation. Patients Who Watch the Weight Loss Surgery Presentations Know What to Expect from Surgery and the Healing Process
    Before Your Weight Loss Surgery Slide 1 of 36 Welcome to the Before Your Weight Loss Surgery presentation. Patients who watch the weight loss surgery presentations know what to expect from surgery and the healing process. So, they are less nervous and are more active in their recovery. These patients have fewer problems and less pain. In other words, the patients that are more informed about their surgery have a more positive, more successful and safer experience. This presentation will help prepare you and any friends or family who watch this with you. Main Menu [No audio] Slide 2 of 36 What you will learn: This presentation will share with you: • How to prepare for surgery • What to expect before surgery • What to expect during your hospital stay • What you can do to reduce the risk of problems and promote healing If you have any questions about your surgery, outcomes or risks other than those covered today, please discuss with your doctor at your appointment. If your doctor’s orders differ from the details given in these slides, please follow your doctor’s orders. Slide 3 of 36 Types of weight loss surgery We currently do 4 types of weight loss surgeries: • With the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) the surgeon removes most of your stomach, leaving behind a stomach that’s shaped like a banana. • With the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) part of the stomach is separated from the rest of the stomach and formed into a smaller pouch. Your intestines are then divided and reconnected into a “Y” shape so that your food bypasses the majority of the stomach and travels directly from the pouch into the small intestines.
