No therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of serious adverse outcomes in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).To investigate long-term relationship between bariatric surgery and incident major liver cardiovascular events (MACE) obesity biopsy-proven fibrotic NASH without cirrhosis.In SPLENDOR (Surgical Procedures Long-term Effectiveness Disease Obesity Risk) study, 25 828 biopsies performed at a US health system 2004 2016, 1158 adult were identified who fulfilled enrollment...

Obesity increases the incidence and mortality from some types of cancer, but it remains uncertain whether intentional weight loss can decrease this risk.To investigate bariatric surgery is associated with lower cancer risk in patients obesity.In SPLENDID (Surgical Procedures Long-term Effectiveness Neoplastic Disease Incidence Death) matched cohort study, adult a body mass index 35 or greater who underwent at US health system between 2004 2017 were included. Patients 1:5 to did not undergo...

In some centers, the presence of a senior general surgeon (SGS) is obligatory in every procedure, including appendectomy, while others it not. There relative paucity literature reports comparing outcomes appendectomies performed by unsupervised surgery residents (GSRs) with those an SGS.To compare SGSs GSRs.A retrospective analysis was all patients 16 years or older operated on for assumed acute appendicitis between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2015. The cohort study compared GSRs...

Bariatric operations induce weight loss, which is associated with an improvement in hepatic steatosis and a reduction glucose production. It not clear whether these outcomes are entirely due to or the new anatomy imposed by surgery contributes metabolic function of liver. We performed vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) on obese mice provided high-fat high-sucrose diet compared them weight-matched sham-operated (WMS). At 40 days after surgery, VSG-operated displayed less WMS. By measuring...

Objective: To compare histological outcomes in patients with fibrotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and obesity after metabolic surgery versus nonsurgical care. Background: There are no published data comparing the effects of care on progression NASH. Methods: Repeat liver biopsies were performed BMI >30 kg/m 2 at a US health system whose baseline biopsy between 2004 2016 confirmed diagnosis NASH including presence fibrosis, but without cirrhosis. Baseline characteristics histology...

Two-stage hepatectomy (TSH) with portal vein embolization (PVE) is associated high morbidity and mortality may result in liver failure due to insufficient future remnant. The objectives of this investigation were evaluate the short-term outcomes patients colorectal cancer metastasis who underwent TSH PVE, critically review selection criteria for TSH-PVE.A retrospective all operated bi-lobar CRLM during years 2007-2017 was performed. Patients TSH-PVE compared those right (RH) only.Twenty-nine...

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 2A is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from a mutation in the RET proto-oncogene on chromosome 10. Almost all of affected patients develop medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The American Thyroid Association recommends prophylactic thyroidectomy MEN pediatric patients, with age recommended varying according to codon present. Objectives: This report questions reliability currently placed guidelines and whether threshold for known 634...
