Prospective single-site case series utilizing an endolumenal tissue anchoring system for revision of post-RYGB stomal and pouch dilatation

Abstract

Clinical study of this endolumenal tissue approximation system has shown intraoperative safety and efficacy in reducing stoma and pouch dilatation post RYGB. Follow-up anchor durability to date is encouraging. Continuing weight loss is being tracked through ongoing endoscopic and clinical follow-up.

Endoscopic findings and outcomes of revisional procedures for patients with weight recidivism after gastric bypass

“…Borao et al [12] proposed that measuring the amount of regained weight lost again after a revision procedure (%RWL) may be a more reasonable metric for defining success among these patients. Hence, that was the approach used in this study.…”

“…Regained weight was defined as weight gained after a patient's nadir was reached subsequent to the gastric bypass. The outcome of revisional surgery was assessed using the percentage of regained weight lost (%RWL), which was calculated as follows [12]:…”

Revisions for Failed Weight Loss

“…It facilitates the placement of tissue plications circumferentially around the stoma and also within the gastric pouch. Borao et al [46] described a series of 20 patients who successfully underwent the IOP procedure. Stomal diameter was reduced, on average, by 53 %, with pouch reduction averaging 41 %.…”

Revisão sistemática e metanálise do tratamento endoscópico do reganho de peso pós-derivação gástrica em Y-de-Roux

“…Ainda, a variedade de técnicas e de dispositivos endoluminais dificulta a padronização de métodos (Borao et al, 2010;Yimcharoen et al, 2011;Gonzáles-Panizo-Tamargo et al, 2014).…”
