To present 5-year results of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with transit bipartition (TB) as a metabolic intervention for obesity.Recent data suggest that high glycemic index foods may lead to hormonally hyperactive proximal gut and hypoactivate distal gut, which are linked syndrome. TB was designed counterbalance these effects.A total 1020 obese patients body mass (BMI) ranging from 33 72 Kg/m underwent SG (SG + TB). creates gastroileal anastomosis in the antrum after SG; nutrient is maintained...
Abstract Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is widely considered the most effective option for treating obesity, a chronic, relapsing, progressive disease. Recently, American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) International Federation Obesity Disorders (IFSO) issued new guidelines on indications MBS, which have superseded previous 1991 National Institutes Health guidelines. The aim this study to establish first set consensus selecting procedures in Class I II using an Expert Modified...
Abstract Background Ramadan is a model of intermittent fasting linked with possible beneficial effects. Scarce information, however, available about the combined effects (RIF) on anthropometric and metabolic indices, gastrointestinal symptoms, motility. Methods In 21 healthy Muslims, we assessed impact RIF caloric intake, physical activity, symptoms motility (gastric/gallbladder emptying by ultrasonography, orocaecal transit time lactulose breath test), subcutaneous visceral fat thickness...
Sleeve gastrectomy is the fastest growing surgical procedure to treat obesity in world but it may cause or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease. This article originally aimed describe addition of anti-reflux procedures (removal periesophageal fats pads, hiatoplasty, a small plication and fixation gastric remnant position) usual sleeve report early late results.Eighty-eight obese patients that also presented symptoms disease were submitted with procedures. Fifty them transit bipartition....
Most bariatric surgical techniques include essentially non-physiological features like narrowing anastomoses or bands, digestive segment exclusion, especially the duodenum. This potentially causes symptoms complications. The aim here was to report on preliminary results from a new technique for treating morbid obesity that takes physiological and evolutionary approach.
Various digestive tract procedures effectively improve metabolic syndrome, especially the control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Very good results have been shown with vertical gastrectomy and entero-omentectomy; however, effects an isolated entero-omentectomy not previously studied. : Nine patients mellitus a body mass index ranging from 29 to 34.8 kg/m2 underwent procedure that consisted enterectomy middle jejunum exeresis major part omentum performed through mini-laparotomy. Glucagon-like...
To compare the impact of four surgical procedures (mini-gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, ileal transposition and transit bipartition) vs medical management on gut peptide secretion, β-cell function resolution hyperglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes.A mixed-meal tolerance test was administered 6-24 months after each procedure bipartition; n=30 group) results were compared those obtained matched lean (n=30) obese diabetes undergoing management.Participants mini-gastric bypass groups...
