Medical records of 210 horses that survived ventral midline celiotomy for at least 4 months were examined and owners were queried to determine factors contributing to incisional hernia formation. The incidence rate of incisional hernias within 4 months was 16%. Factors significantly associated with
BACKGROUND: This study concerns 33 patients treated for morbid obesity with the procedure proposed by Scopinaro. Results are reviewed retrospectively in terms of complication rates. METHODS: The group consisted of ten men and 23 women with a mean age of 34 years (range 20-51 years), and a mean BMI
A 57 year old white man, was seen on the 16th, May, 1978, with the chief complaint of severe post-prandial epigastric cramping followed by nausea and vomiting and Dumping. The patient underwent troncular vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy for symptomatic and intractible hiati hernia in May 1960. Two
Unlike the standardised surgery of the right sided colic emergencies there is still a matter of debate on the emergency approach of the left colon and rectum. Between 1998 - 2007 on 32 patients (15 males, 17 females) we performed the single stage radical procedure total or subtotal colectomy. In the
BACKGROUND
Long-term complications of jejunoileal bypass (JIB) have been reported, prompting restoration of intestinal continuity and concomitant performance of vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) for weight control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presentation and reversal of JIB
BACKGROUND
The intestinal interpositions are important in various operations of the digestive tract. However, they are capable to produce serious immediate and late complications.
OBJECTIVE
To compare clinical and surgical outcomes, as well as intestinal pathological findings, in dogs submitted to
Appendicitis is the most common surgical abdominal emergency in the pediatric population, but is rarely considered in children less than 3 years of age. The goal of this study was to identify the presenting symptoms and signs in this age group and examine their subsequent management and outcome. A
This is an interim report of a prospective, randomized study involving 194 consecutive patients who underwent elective operation for treatment of duodenal ulcer. The results of parietal cell vagotomy without drainage (PCV) and selective vagotomy-antrectomy and Billroth I anastomosis (SV-A-B I) were
One hundred one carefully screened morbidity obese patients underwent jejunoileal bypass and were followed closely over a mean follow-up period of 32 months. Although there were no operative deaths, three per cent of patients died postoperatively of liver failure or its complications. A fourth
BACKGROUND
In an effort to reduce the complications of Scopinaro's biliopancreatic diversion (BPD), in 1989 we introduced the modification of lengthening the alimentary channel preserving most of the jejunum-ileum, by creating a short biliopancreatic limb (50 cm) and maintaining 50 cm of common limb
OBJECTIVE
The impressive breakthrough in laparoscopic surgery has urged several authors to adopt such an approach in the treatment of both benign and malignant gastric diseases, even though laparoscopic gastric resection has not yet met with widespread enthusiasm. The current work is aimed at
METHODS: Evaluated are surgical difficulties, management problems and weight loss in patients with distal gastric bypass as a revisionary procedure. Eighty patients were followed up to 3 years; four were lost to follow-up. Mean age was 43; mean prebariatric surgery weight 134 kg; height 1.65 meters;
The author presents the results of a new surgical technique for the reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract after gastrectomy. It was utilized in 36 patients (ten with total, 16 with subtotal and seven with minimal radical gastrectomy and also three cases of post-gastrectomy syndrome). The
OBJECTIVE
We analyzed the long-term complications (greater than 90 days postoperatively) in a large, single center series of patients who underwent cystectomy and substitution with an ileal neobladder.
METHODS
A total of 1,540 radical cystectomies were performed at our center between January 1986
BACKGROUND
Gastric bypass (GBP) is the most effective method for controlling morbid obesity. Previously we showed that extending the length of the Roux limb increased weight loss. We have done over 400 obesity operations during the past 20 years. The current study consists of patients from the last
