A special section focused impact COVID-19, existence protocols for MBS, use telemedicine, any mortality related MBS. trend analysis data, both worldwide...
Abstract Introduction Gastric leak post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a severe complication that has been reported in 1.5–3% of cases. Management algorithms exist; however, no known factors predict the time to resolution. This study aims share outcomes our management algorithm LSG leak, including rate resolution, complications, admission intensive care unit, conversion other techniques, and mortality. To determine if any can resolution time. Methods A retrospective analysis...
Background: Overweight and obesity are significant public health concerns that prevalent in younger age cohorts. Preventive or therapeutic interventions difficult to implement maintain over time. On the other hand, majority of adolescents United States have a smartphone, representing huge potential for innovative digitized interventions, such as weight loss programs delivered via smartphone applications. Although number available applications is increasing, evidence their effectiveness...
Abstract Background The presentation of leak after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is variable. A missed or delayed diagnosis can lead to severe consequences. This study presents our experience: the clinical presentations, laboratory, and radiological findings in patients with LSG. Methods retrospective review who were diagnosed treated as LSG at center (January 2012–November 2019). Results Eighty developed leak: 68 (85%) primary LSG, 6 (7.5%) Re-LSG band removal revisional Mean age...
Background. Laparoscopic gastric greater curvature plication (LGGCP) is a restrictive bariatric procedure without gastrectomy. However, limited literature on effectiveness of exists. Objectives. We assessed LGGCP’s efficacy, effects associated comorbidities, safety and the rate complications, patient satisfaction with outcomes among morbidly obese patients. Method. Analysis retrospectively data collected from medical records 26 patients who had undergone LGGCP at Hamad General Hospital,...
Background. The Single-Port Instrument Delivery Extended Reach (SPIDER) surgical system is a safe revolutionary technology that defeated difficulties of single-incision surgery. We assessed the long-term outcomes SPIDER sleeve gastrectomy (SPIDER SG) versus conventional laparoscopic (LSG) in morbidly obese patients. Methods. Retrospective review patients who underwent SG or LSG our center matched by date surgery (2012-2013). reviewed weight loss results up to 5 years, complication rates,...
Background: Portomesentric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare but potentially serious and life threatening complication that may happen following laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS).Multifactorial local systemic prothrombotic factors have been identitfied for PMVT development.In this study we intend to assess: 1) Incidence of post LBS in our patients' population; 2) Our protocol DVT prophylaxis with applying the enhanced recovery after (ERAS) application certain intra-operative techniques...
Abstract Introduction: During COVID-19 pandemic, all elective surgical interventions were suspended, including bariatric and metabolic (B&M) surgeries endoscopic procedures. Delayed extraction of intragastric balloons associated with a higher complication rate [1]. Experts agreed that procedures are semi-elective/urgent can be performed following specific protocol during this pandemic [2]. Objective: To share our experience removal air-filled suggested algorithm. Methods: Retrospective...
