Minimally invasive colectomies are increasingly popular options for colon resection.To compare the perioperative outcomes and costs of robot-assisted colectomy (RC), laparoscopic (LC), open (OC).The US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was used to examine before after propensity score matching across 3 surgical approaches. This study involved a sample hospital discharges from 2008 2010 all patients 21 years age or older who underwent elective colectomy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES...
Laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernia (PEH) has been shown to result in excellent relief symptoms and improved quality life (QOL) despite a relatively high radiographically identified recurrence rate.To assess potential risk factors for long-term change QOL after laparoscopic PEH.This was prospective study 111 patients who underwent elective type III PEH with biological mesh buttressed over primary cruroplasty from April 3, 2009, through July 31, 2014, at the Department Surgery, Johns...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that hypoxia OSA increases hepatic production lysyl oxidase (LOX), an enzyme cross-links collagen, and LOX may serve as a biomarker fibrosis.Thirty-five patients severe obesity underwent biopsy, polysomnography, serum testing. A separate group had measured before after 3 mo CPAP or no therapy, did age-matched controls. expression secretion were in mouse hepatocytes...
<h3>Objective</h3>To compare outcomes and costs of elective surgery for diverticular disease (DD) with those other diseases commonly requiring colectomy.<h3>Design</h3>Multivariable analyses using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample to across primary diagnosis while adjusting age, sex, race, year admission, comorbid disease.<h3>Setting</h3>A sample US hospital admissions from 2003-2009.<h3>Patients</h3>All adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing resection descending colon or subtotal colectomy who...
Prior work has shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) can diagnose metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) noninvasively, but there is a paucity of data on the performance PDFF to classify more advanced forms MASLD spectrum. The purpose this study was assess diagnostic for diagnoses MASLD, steatohepatitis (MASH), and fibrotic MASH in adults with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery, using contemporaneous intraoperative...
