RYGB with long-biliopancreatic and short-alimentary limbs is safe and seems effective in achieving complete control of T2D in patients with BMIs between 30 and 35 kg/m.
METHODS:Fifty four rats were used, distributed into three groups randomly: aroeira, babassu and control, which were divided into three subgroups (six animals) according to the time of the deaths (7, 14, 21 days). All underwent the same surgical procedure, cecotomy and cecorrhaphy. The animals in group aroeira and babassu received daily dose of 100 mg/kg of hydroalcoholic extract and 50 mg/kg of aquous extract respectively, by gavage. The control group received only saline solution. The parameters evaluated were: macroscopic changes, ,resistance test to air insufflations and histological changes.
RESULTS:All animals showed good healing without infection. All groups presented adhesions between cecum and neighboring organs.The resistance test insufflating of atmospheric air showed progressive increase of pressure according to the days in the aroeira group, and decrease in babassu group, without significant difference. Microscopy showed significant difference in the polymorphonuclear, hyperemia, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and collagen histological variables in the 14 th day.
CONCLUSION:Hydroalcoholic extract of aroeira and the aqueous extract of babassu favored the healing process in cecorrhaphy in rats.
Background: Among Roux-en-Y gastric bypass complications is the occurrence of intestinal
obstruction by the appearance of internal hernias, which may occur in Petersen
space or the opening in mesenteric enteroenteroanastomosis. Aim: To evaluate the efficiency and safety in performing a fixing jejunal maneuver in
the transverse mesocolon to prevent internal hernia formation in Petersen space.
Method: Two surgical points between the jejunum and the transverse mesocolon, being 5 cm
and 10 cm from duodenojejunal angle are made. In all patients was left Petersen
space open and closing the opening of the mesenteric enteroenteroanastomosis. Results: Among 52 operated patients, 35 were women (67.3%). The age ranged 18-63 years,
mean 39.2 years. BMI ranged from 35 to 56 kg/m2 (mean 40.5
kg/m2). Mean follow-up was 15.1 months (12-18 months). The operative
time ranged from 68-138 min. There were no intraoperative complications, and there
were no major postoperative complications and no reoperations. The hospital stay
ranged from 2-3 days. During the follow-up, no one patient developed suspect
clinical presentation of internal hernia. Follow-up in nine patients (17.3%)
showed asymptomatic cholelithiasis and underwent elective laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. During these procedures were verified the Petersen space and
jejunal fixation. In all nine, there was no herniation of the jejunum to the right
side in Petersen space. Conclusion: The fixation of the first part of the jejunum to left side of the transverse
mesocolon is safe and effective to prevent internal Petersen hernia in RYGB
postoperatively in the short and medium term. It may be interesting alternative to
closing the Petersen space.
Purpose
To analyze the effectiveness of vertical gastrectomy in the treatment of
obese patients, adherence to clinical follow-up and the influence of factors
such as gender and age.
Methods
This is a retrospective, observational and descriptive study, conducted with
patients undergoing vertical gastrectomy, operated at Hospital São Domingos,
between January 2016 and July 2018.
Results
Most patients undergoing vertical gastrectomy were female (n = 193, 72.28%)
and had a mean age of37.11 ± 8.96 years old. The loss of follow-up was
56.18%. Among adherent patients (n = 117; 43.82%), most patients were female
(n = 89; 76.07%) and had a mean age of 37.92 ± 9.85 years old. The mean body
mass index (BMI) of the adherents in the preoperative was 37.85 ± 3.72
kg/m
2
. Both BMI and excess weight (EW) showed a statistically
significant difference between pre- and postoperative period. Percentage of
excess weight loss (% EWL) was satisfactory for 96.6% of adherent patients.
Older patients had a statistically significant lower % EWL compared to the
other groups.
Conclusions
Vertical gastrectomy was effective in the treatment of obese patients, with
significant weight loss.
Introduction: The percentage of obese people is growing at a rapid pace, increasing the number of patients the number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It is known that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is known to progress to cirrhosis. Currently there is no consensus about the surgical technique indicated for the cirrhotic patient who will cirrhotic patient who will undergo bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass surgery in Y is a classic technique widely used. However, when compared with the gastric Sleeve, the by-pass has disadvantages such as more difficult technique, longer surgical time, and more postoperative postoperative and nutritional complications. Case Presentation: Obese, hypertensive, diabetic patient who had his RYGB suspended after the intraoperative finding of cirrhosis. He was subsequently classified as CHILD A and underwent vertical gastrectomy. After one year of follow-up he presented good weight loss, good control of hypertension, diabetes arterial hypertension, diabetes, and improved liver function and lipid profile. Conclusion: It is understood, that gastric Sleeve may soon become the surgery of choice for cirrhotic patients CHILD A.
