Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the gold standard treatment for gallstone disease. Bile duct injury a rare and severe complication of this procedure, with reported incidence 0.4% to 0.8% mostly result misperception misinterpretation biliary anatomy. Robotic has proven be safe feasible approach. One latest innovations in minimally invasive technology fluorescent imaging using indocyanine green (ICG). The aim study evaluate efficacy ICG Da Vinci Fluorescence Imaging Vision System...
Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) was introduced in the attempt to improve outcomes of open approach. Laparoscopic (LPD) first reported by Gagner and Pomp (Surg Endosc 8:408-410, 1994). Unfortunately, due its complexity technical demand, LPD never reached widespread popularity. Since it performed P. C. Giulianotti 2001, Robotic PD (RPD) has been gaining ground among surgeons. MIPD is included as a surgical option latest NCCN Guidelines. However, lack standardization, however,...
Patients with obesity have limited access to kidney transplantation, mainly due an increased incidence of surgical complications, which could be reduced selective use robotic-assisted surgery. This prospective randomized controlled trial compares the safety and efficacy combining robotic sleeve gastrectomy transplant alone in candidates class II or III obesity. Twenty were recruited, 11 group 9 group. At 12-month follow-up, change body mass index was -8.76 ± 1.82 compared 1.70 2.30 (P =...
There is a high prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia that has been linked to cardiovascular risk in obese individuals and could be attributed poor nutritional status folate vitamin B12. We sought examine the association between blood homocysteine (Hcy) folate, B12 levels vascular dysfunction morbidly adults using novel ex vivo flow-induced dilation (FID) measurements isolated adipose tissue arterioles. Brachial artery flow-mediated (FMD) was also measured. Subcutaneous visceral biopsies were...
Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is a hallmark of obesity and vascular dysfunction. We sought to test the hypothesis that VD may contribute obesity-related dysfunction by inducing adipokine hypomethylation augmented expression. To this end, we collected blood adipose tissues (ATs) from cohort 77 obese participants who were classified as having mild, moderate, or severe deficiency. The body composition, reactivity, cardiometabolic profiles, DNA methylation 94 inflammation-related adipokines...
Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Blood-detected epigenetic profiles may serve as non-invasive clinically relevant biomarkers. Therefore, we investigated DNA methylation of genes involved in inflammation peripheral blood obese subjects and lean controls their correlation with cardiometabolic measurements. We obtained adipose tissue (AT) samples from bariatric patients (n = 24) control adults 24). AT-isolated arterioles were tested flow-induced dilation (FID)...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of medicine, including surgical science and practice. The evolution AI from rule-based systems to advanced machine learning deep algorithms has opened new avenues for its application in metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). potential enhance various aspects MBS, education training, decision-making, procedure planning, cost time efficiency, optimization techniques, outcome complication prediction, patient education, access care. However,...
