Background With cumulative increase in patients, progressively larger numbers of patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and pancreatoduodenectomy are requiring ERCP. We examined our rate of success with endoscopic techniques to access the biliary tree in patients with altered anatomy. Methods...
We developed a method to standardize weight loss following gastric bypass surgery that accounts for pre-operative BMI. Methods Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients with 12+ months of post-operative follow-up were included (12 month follow-up rate is 90%). After stratifying by baseline BMI, the ...
The mean BMI was 45.57 kg/m2 (range 35-64.5) for LRYGB patients (n = 168), 53.27 kg/m2 (range 35.1-82.1) for LSG patients (n = 282), and 49.42 kg/m2 (range 36-73.1) for LOLGB patients (n = 84). The total postoperative complication rate was 8.99%. The most common EOSS ...
Following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), a type of bariatric surgery, many patients exhibit a reduction in taste preference for sweet and fatty foods, although this effect may only be temporary, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York. Obesity is a ...
To deal with such a high rate, 20,440 interventional clinical trials have been conducted, according to Clinical Trials.Gov (National Institutes of Health, 2016). Cancer development consists of a multistep process, i.e., initiation, promotion, and progression, which involve irreversible genetic ...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically challenging in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Current approaches either have high failure rate, are resource intensive, or invasive.#To describe successful adoption of an old technique for performance of ERCP in patients with RYGB...
We report on 23 cases of PEG placements by SBE with overall technical success of reaching the excluded stomach 70% and with PEG placement success rate of 69%. No intra-procedural adverse events occurred. This technique seems safe when feasible for PEG placement in patients with RNY-GB anatomy...
SAHS should be investigated in patients developing recurrent AF after CV. Recovery of nocturnal hypoxia may increase the success rate of standard AF treatment.doi:10.1186/S13256-015-0616-6Bülent GüyetmezHakan Korkut AtalanHikmet AlogluAdnan Kelebek...
No patient developed signs of gastric outlet obstruction after PSPG. Seventy-five percent of patients had pancreatic or duodenal and 25% had nonpancreatic cancers. Nine patients developed postoperative complications. The perioperative mortality rate was zero. Median overall survival was 9 months. All ...
