The enemy of good is better, colonic obstruction post gastric bypass: an international video case series
We present 3 cases of transverse colon obstruction after antecolic-antegastric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and describe the technical steps in relieving the obstruction. All patients have consented and approved to publish this work.Counterregulatory responses to postprandial hypoglycemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a potentially serious complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and impaired counterregulatory hormone responses have been suggested to contribute to the condition.Factors implicated in discharge disposition following elective bariatric surgery
Current bariatric surgery studies have focused on traditional outcomes such as mortality and morbidity and have thus far have neglected an important marker of surgical care- discharge destination.Concurrent hiatal hernia repair and bariatric surgery: outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Hiatal hernias are often repaired concurrently with bariatric surgery to reduce risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease–related complications.Clinical periodontal conditions in individuals after bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the influence of bariatric surgery on the clinical periodontal conditions in patients with obesity. This review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and registered at the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (CRD42018099313). A search was conducted by 2 investigators in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant articles published up to May 2018.One-year follow-up of a dissonance-based intervention on quality of life, wellbeing, and physical activity after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) peaks around 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, and thereafter, in many patients, slowly deteriorates.Mental disorders and weight change in a prospective study of bariatric surgery patients: 7 years of follow-up
Long-term, longitudinal data are limited on mental disorders after bariatric surgery.Surgery-related gastrointestinal symptoms in a prospective study of bariatric surgery patients: 3-year follow-up
Having accurate information on bariatric surgery-related gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms is critical for patient care.Anastomotic techniques in open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: primary open surgery and converted procedures
Open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may be chosen because of known widespread adhesions or as a result of conversion during laparoscopic surgery. Although conversions are rare, they occur even in experienced hands. The gastrojejunostomy may be performed with a circular stapler (CS) or a linear stapler (LS) or may be entirely hand sewn (HS). Our aim was to study differences in outcomes regarding the anastomotic techniques utilized in open surgery.Plateaued national utilization of adolescent bariatric surgery despite increasing prevalence of obesity-associated co-morbidities
The number of adolescent bariatric surgeries (ABS) performed from 2003 to 2009 has been stable despite reports of an increase in adolescent morbid obesity.Effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass-induced weight loss on the transcriptomic profiling of subcutaneous adipose tissue
The changes in the transcriptomic profiling of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) when weight loss stabilizes after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are still largely unknown.A population-based, shared decision-making approach to recruit for a randomized trial of bariatric surgery versus lifestyle for type 2 diabetes
Randomized trials of bariatric surgery versus lifestyle treatment likely enroll highly motivated patients, which may limit the interpretation and generalizability of study findings. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of a population-based shared decision-making (SDM) approach to recruitment for a trial comparing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery with intensive lifestyle intervention among adults with mild to moderate obesity and type 2 diabetes.Risk stratification of serious adverse events after gastric bypass in the Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database
There is now sufficient demand for bariatric surgery to compare bariatric surgeons and bariatric centers according to their postsurgical outcomes, but few validated risk stratification measures are available to enable valid comparisons. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a risk stratification model of composite adverse events related to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.Long-term results 11 years after primary gastric bypass in 384 patients
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) as treatment of morbid obesity results in substantial weight loss. Most published long-term studies have included few patients at the last follow-up point. The aim of the present study was to explore long-term results in a large cohort of patients 7–17 years after gastric bypass.Size really does matter—role of gastrojejunostomy in postoperative weight loss
Although the published data have clearly related the size of the gastrojejunostomy anastomosis to the subsequent likelihood of a stricture, a correlation between the anastomosis size and postoperative weight loss has not previously been described.
