Abstract The four previous articles in this series addressed the myths and facts surrounding lipoedema. We have shown that there is no scientific evidence at all for key statements made about lipoedema – which are published time again. main result of “misunderstanding” a therapeutic concept misses mark. patient’s real problems overlooked. national especially international response to series, can be read both German English, has been immense exceeded our expectations. numerous reactions make...
This study is part of an initiative to improve the FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) registries globally. It explores extent which European registry data can be manually integrated without first making them FAIR and assesses these registries' current level FAIRness. The findings establish a baseline for evaluation provide recommendations enhance MBS management practices. Data dictionaries from five national in Germany,...
This S2k guideline was developed on the initiative and under German Society of Phlebology Lymphology (DGPL) leadership. The aims to optimize diagnosis treatment lipedema. It is intended bring together different approaches respective professional groups in a consensus-based manner thus offer basic concept for best possible patients with Sixty recommendations were formulated agreed diagnostics, conservative surgical options, psychosocial factors self-management. reflect current scientific...
The aim of this study was to compare silicone-banded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) nonbanded (SG) regarding weight loss, obesity-related comorbidities, and complications.As a primary bariatric procedure, SG leads excellent yet regain is relevant issue in mid- long-term follow-up. Retrospective analyses suggest that banding using silicone ring may decrease improve loss.The banded versus single-center, randomized controlled trial conducted from January 2015 August 2019. endpoint defined as excess...
Lipoedema is characterized as subcutaneous lipohypertrophy in association with soft-tissue pain affecting female patients. Recently, the disease has undergone a paradigm shift departing from historic reiterations of defining lipoedema terms classic edema paired notion weight loss-resistant leg volume towards an evidence-based, patient-centered approach. Although strongly associated obesity, effect bariatric surgery on thigh and loss not been explored.In retrospective cohort study, 31...
Abstract Background Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an uncommon, but life-threatening clinical entity due to late diagnosis resulting in irreversible ischemic bowel necrosis. The most common causes of AMI are the embolic occlusion and acute thrombosis circulation. Typical treatment composed early revascularization circulation followed by abdominal surgery for resection nonviable intestine restoration intestinal continuity, mortality rates remain high. Methods A retrospective cohort...
The gastric bypass is the gold standard of bariatric surgery. Nevertheless some patients show insufficient weight loss or regain. Dilation pouch outlet may be cause. banded tries to overcome dilation by placing an implant around outlet. In this study we describe our results using GaBP™ ring system in operations 3 centers. 183 reference centers received a operation system. Up 4 years follow up was evaluated including and complications. Mean EWL after 6 Months 60% with mean BMI 30.1 kg/m2....
With a rising number of bariatric procedures, the absolute postoperative complications is increasing, too. Postoperative bleeding, particularly along staple line, recognized challenge. Numerous strategies including reinforcement line (SLR) have been proposed to improve bleeding rates, but no single technique has shown superiority over others. In our center, we implemented intraoperative blood pressure regulation alone, without SLR, reduce hemorrhagic postoperatively.
The occurrence of internal hernia is not an uncommon late complication following the laparoscopic bariatric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. In some instances, it can be life threatening if treated in a timely manner. Although there are numerous publications literature addressing hernia, they mostly retrospective, and focus mainly on describing different reconstructive orientation as far bowel concerned.Our study aim to address relationship between three basic elements namely: intestinal...
Abstract Introduction Parental predisposition and age of onset may be independently associated with 1-year total weight loss (TWL) failure (< 20%) after metabolic–bariatric surgery (MBS). Methods This cohort study includes all cases the German StuDoQ|MBE register (2015–2019) data on parental predisposition, obesity onset, at least follow up primary MBS procedures ( n = 14,404). We provide descriptive statistics in terms main outcome TWL failure, characteristics type subgroups. Finally, we...
Abstract There are nearly 65 million people with chronic heart failure (CHF) globally, no treatment directed at the pathologic cause of disease, loss functioning cardiomyocytes. We have an allogeneic cardiac patch comprised cardiomyocytes and human fibroblasts on a bioresorbable matrix. This increases blood flow to damaged improves left ventricular (LV) function in immune competent rat model ischemic CHF. After 6 months Yucatan mini swine CHF model, this restores LV contractility without...
Bariatrische Operationen werden in Deutschland immer häufiger durchgeführt. Primäreingriffe meist spezialisierten Zentren Es gibt jedoch späte Komplikationen, die Monate bis Jahre nach der Operation auftreten und mit denen jeder Allgemein- Viszeralchirurg, unabhängig von Größe Spezialisierung seiner Klinik, konfrontiert kann. Der laparoskopische Roux-Y-Magenbypass ist weltweit am häufigsten durchgeführte bariatrische Operation. Durch das antekolische Hochführen alimentären Schlinge zum Pouch...
Abstract Background Response to metabolic surgery is heterogeneous and the states that underpin weight loss improvement are still unclear. In this study, we investigate parameters of post-bariatric fasting glucoregulation leverage artificial intelligence-assisted whole-slide image analyses characterize associated immunohistologic features pancreas. Materials Methods We performed either loop duodeno-jejunostomy (DJOS) with exclusion 1/3 total intestinal length, duodeno-ileostomy 2/3 length...
Objectives To investigate the association of parental obesity (PO) with onset obesity, pre-surgical disease duration and body mass index (BMI) at time surgery in patients undergoing metabolic-bariatric (MBS). Design This is a cohort study German StuDoQ registry for diseases. All surgical cases from initiation September 2015 until August 2020 were screened pertinent information. Setting The based on participating hospitals various sizes. Participants A total 11 891 included this analysis,...
Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende S2k‐Leitlinie wurde auf Initiative und unter Federführung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Phlebologie Lymphologie (DGPL) e.V. erstellt. Ihr Ziel ist es, die Diagnostik Therapie des Lipödems zu optimieren. Sie soll unterschiedlichen Herangehensweisen jeweiligen Berufsgruppen konsensbasiert zusammenführen damit ein Grundkonzept bestmögliche Behandlung von Patientinnen mit Lipödem bieten. Insgesamt wurden 60 Empfehlungen den Themenbereichen Diagnostik,...
