Jejunoileal and common limb length vary widely in gastric bypass patients. To make modifications in the alimentary and/or biliopancreatic limb length, surgeons must consider the variability of the jejunoileal and common limb length.
The results of this study are similar to few other investigations and confirm that RML in open bariatric surgery with RYGBP (Capella) is a common complication. A longer surgical time can be involved in RML pathogenesis, and muscular pain is suggestive of RML occurrence.
The significant increase in mannitol excretion rate from T1 to T6 most likely reflects the occurrence of intestinal adaptation (mucosal hyperplasia), which would tend to minimize the malabsorption of macronutrients. A subgroup of patients who undergo RYGB exhibit pronounced increase in their intestinal permeability (assessed by the lactulose/mannitol ratio and the lactulose excretion rate) at T6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
