"We are looking at measurable outcomes prior to, during and after surgery and then also assessing the patient's experience and their satisfaction, and the maintenance of weight loss," said Pin. Although she's only halfway through the project, more than 88 percent of the women in the study ...
Rapid changes in surgical technology and in demand for weight-loss surgery have made the field one of medicine's most dynamic. This chapter reviews available surgical procedures, their possible mechanisms of action through the enterohypothalamic endocrine axis, and their risks and outcomes....

Methods We extracted data on all patients with disseminated cancer undergoing elective surgeries between 2005 and 2011 from the National Surgical Quality Improvement ...
Bariatric surgery is associated with significant and sustained weight loss and improved metabolic outcomes. It is unclear if weight loss alone is the main mechanism of improved metabolic health. The purpose of this trial was to compare indices of appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and energy ...
Secondary outcomes were changes in weight, CPAP adherence, and functional status.Results: Patients lost a mean of 5.1 kg (95% CI, 0.8 to 9.3 kg) in the conventional weight loss program compared with 27.8 kg (95% CI, 20.9 to 34.7 kg) in the bariatric surgery group ...

Short- and long-term risks of surgery must be carefully weighed against the benefits of the associated weight loss for each patient. ...
After excluding patients with advanced tumor grades, laparoscopic surgery was still associated with better outcomes and lower costs than open surgery. On the contrary, robotic surgery was associated with the highest costs, without substantial outcome benefits over laparoscopic surgery. More studies are ...
Obesity is associated with aggressive prostate cancer. To explore whether weight loss favourably affects tumour biology and other outcomes, we undertook a presurgical trial among overweight and obese men with prostate cancer. This single-blinded, two-arm
