In Brief BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with important physiologic changes that can potentially affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of anesthetic drugs. We designed this study to assess predictive performance 5 currently available propofol PK models in morbidly obese patients characterize Bispectral Index (BIS) response population. METHODS: Twenty (body mass index >35 kg/m2), aged 20 60 years, scheduled for laparoscopic bariatric surgery, were studied....
Recent coronavirus outbreak and "stay at home" policies have accelerated the implementation of virtual healthcare. Many surgery departments are implementing telemedicine to enhance remote perioperative care. However, concern still arises regarding safety this modality in postoperative follow-up after gastrointestinal surgery. The aim present prospective study is compare use clinics in-person for care during COVID-19 outbreak.Prospective that included all abdominal patients operated since...
The added precision and steadiness of a robotically held camera enables the performance more complex procedures laparoscopically. In contrast to typical laparoscope holders, modified lightweight robotic endoscope, ViKY system is particularly compact, simple set up use, occupies no floor space. Ease safety setup was confirmed in porcine model several common general surgical were performed. sterilizable endoscope manipulator sufficiently small be placed directly on operating room table without...
A strong interrelationship exists between the regulation of bile acid (BA) metabolism and hepatic very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) production. We have recently shown that BA synthesis is increased in gallstone disease. investigated activity microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) as a surrogate VLDL production, synthesis, mRNA expression levels proteins regulate fatty (FA) liver (GS) patients compared with GS-free patients. Twenty-seven volunteers subjected to elective surgery; 9...
Gastric cancer (GC) is a heterogeneous disease. This heterogeneity applies not only to morphological and phenotypic features but also geographical variations in incidence mortality rates. As Chile has one of the highest rates within South America, we sought define molecular profile Chilean GCs (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03158571/(FORCE1)). Solid tumor samples clinical data were obtained from 224 patients, with subsets analyzed by tissue microarray (TMA; n = 90) next generation...
Different esophagojejunostomy (EJ) reconstruction methods are used after totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG), and none is considered a standard technique. This report describes 2-layer hand-sewn EJ technique during TLTG; we also evaluated postoperative morbidity associated with this technique.This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive patients who underwent TLTG for gastric cancer (GC) from 2012 to 2016 at 2 affiliated teaching hospitals. All participating surgeons...
