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.

  • A Matched Cohort Analysis of Single Anastomosis Loop Duodenal Switch Versus Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass with 18-Month Follow-Up - Springer
    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.

  • The Reliability and Reproducibility of the Schilling Test in Primary Malabsorptive Disease and After Partial Gastrectomy
    Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.4.1.32 on 1 March 1963. Downloaded from Gut, 1963, 4, 32 The reliability and reproducibility of the Schilling test in primary malabsorptive disease and after partial gastrectomy J. F. ADAMS AND E. JUNE CARTWRIGHT From the Western Infirmary, Glasgow EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS A study of the reproducibility and reliability of the Schilling test in patients with primary malabsorptive disease and after partial gastrectomy is reported. The value of the test was assessed by repeated tests in each patient. Consistently normal or abnormal results were obtained in only one of the seven patients with primary malabsorptive disease and in only two of the eight patients who had undergone partial gastrectomy. From these results it is concluded that the result of a single test may be of little clinical value. Assessment of the results suggests that the mean value for a series of Schilling tests may give some indication of value clinically about the capacity to absorb radioactive vitamin B12 at the time of the tests at least in patients who have undergone partial gastrectomy. The significance of the findings is discussed, particularly in relation to the aetiology of post-gastrectomy megaloblastic anaemia. http://gut.bmj.com/ Absorption tests using radioactive vitamin B12 may ml. water; two hours later 1,000 ptg. vitamin B12 was given be of considerable value in establishing a precise intramuscularly and urine was collected for the subsequent diagnosis in conditions in which anaemia results 24 hours. The radioactivity in a 450 ml. aliquot was from malabsorption. It is obviously important to measured as described by Adams and Seaton (1961) and the total urinary radioactivity expressed as a percentage appreciate the limitations of such tests.

Surgical history includes appendectomy as a teenager, a ventral hernia repair after her last child was born, and right knee arthroscopy about 5 years ago. Her medications include triamterene/hydrochlorthiazide 37.5/25 mg daily, acetaminophen 650 mg (2) twice daily , cal- cium citrate 600 mg/vitamin D 400 international units twice daily, omeprazole 20 mg daily p.r.n for heartburn, and hy- drocodone/acetaminophen 5/325 mg every 6h p.r.n. for severe pain. You perform a physical exam, discuss healthy diet and physical activity, order serum electrolytes and creatinine, refill her prescriptions, and advise her to schedule a follow-up ap- pointment in 3 months for preventative screening. You are about to conclude the visit and leave the room when Mrs. Abra- ham asks if she can get a vitamin B12 shot now. You question her about her need for B12 and Mrs. Abraham states she never knew how her previous primary care provider knew she had a vitamin B12 deficiency, but monthly shots have helped boost her energy over the past year.
