OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of fluoroscopically guided balloon dilation (FGBD) in patients with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction following surgery for morbid obesity.
METHODS
Forty-one FGBDs were performed in 28 patients with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction following gastric
OBJECTIVE
This work establishes an animal model for nonadjustable gastric banding and characterizes the effect of gastric banding on esophageal physiology.
BACKGROUND
Obstruction at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) results in esophageal dilation and aperistalsis. Although laparoscopic gastric
Surgery of morbid obesity is associated with significant morbidity, which is considerably increased for reoperative surgery. Over the past two and a half years endoscopic balloon dilation was performed in eight patients for stenosis of gastrojejunostomy following gastric bypass. The technique of
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding for the treatment of morbid obesity has gained widespread popularity because of its simplicity both for the surgeon and more so for the patient. On the other hand, with this procedure there are complications such as band slippage, erosion, balloon problems and
A young obese female with acute pancreatitis complicated by pseudocyst formation and intermittent gastric outlet obstruction, who had been maintained on high-calorie enteral feeds, developed a sudden onset of confusion and ophthalmoplegia associated with papilloedema and retinal haemorrhages. A
BACKGROUND
Bariatric surgery is a continuously evolving field. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is a new investigational procedure used to treat patients with morbid obesity. The demand for this operation from the obese patients is also rising. The problem is that during gastric plication
BACKGROUND
Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Many strategies to promote weight loss, including medications and surgical techniques, have been developed; however, few have proven effective. As the rates of obesity and associated
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been used as a first step of a two-stage approach in bariatric surgery for high-risk patients. Recently, LSG is being utilized as a primary and final procedure for morbid obesity with acceptable short-term results. The aim of this study is to investigate the
Intragastric balloons are used as a temporary restrictive method in obesity to induce weight loss. They are typically recommended when patients have mild obesity and have failed traditional first line treatments of diet, exercise and behaviour modification. We report a case of a 45-year-old female
Steatosis and steatohepatitis are associated with obesity. Despite florid histological changes, patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis generally remain asymptomatic, and it usually runs a relatively benign course. An elevated insulin level may be important in the pathogenesis. There is a marked
BACKGROUND
Patients can be symptomatic after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass because of either surgical complications or physiologic changes and adjustment to the new anatomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that could influence the rate of postoperative emergency room
Recently, some surgical teams have used a laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty to treat morbid obesity. This approach mimics the principle of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, but using a completely reversible mechanism. Displacement of the device has been reported in 7.7% of cases. An 69-year-old obese woman was submitted to an abdominoperineal resection (APR) with left side end colostomy to treat a synchronic sigmoid and middle rectum cancer. Six months after APR, she develop a PH with a progressive increase of the size. The patient refused the surgical indication. Thirteen
