OBJECTIVE Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an increasingly prevalent problem. Treatment options are still under investigation. The primary aim of the study was to determine whether weight loss, achieved through Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), improved histopathology in obese patients with biopsy proven NASH. METHODS One hundred and forty-nine were identified from a surgical database as having RYGBP for obesity concomitant intra-operative liver biopsies October 2001 September 2003....
Although perceived as a more technically demanding and time-consuming technique, the hand-sewn gastrojejunostomy during laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with fewer complications lower costs than stapled techniques.A retrospective medical record review of prospectively collected data.University hospital.One hundred eight consecutive patients undergoing RYGB between January 1, 1999, December 31, 2001.Three techniques were compared: anastomosis (HSA), circular-stapled...
There is mounting concern that internal hernia formation after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) for morbid obesity remains unrecognized until complications develop. In this report we present our experience with complication. Out of 100 patients who underwent LRYGB identified five were diagnosed postoperative formation. The medical records and operative details these reviewed. Of the four female average age was 36 years (range 30-43). All Roux limbs placed in a retrocolic...
To learn the clinical outcome of patients undergoing laparoscopic partial sleeve duodenectomy (PSD) for lesions, which require resection duodenum. Traditionally, these lesions en bloc excision head pancreas performed in an open fashion.A retrospective review medical records with nonampullary large or circumferential duodenal were not amenable to endoscopic local complete removal, was performed. Characteristics, complications, and technical details analyzed.Ten (5 men 5 women; mean age, 70...
Additional support for the safety and feasibility of combined paraesophageal hernia repair Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is needed. We sought to analyze both short- long-term outcomes patients who underwent this operation. Single institution retrospective analysis overall morbidity mortality primary with from January 2014 July 2023. Fifty-two met inclusion criteria. Mean preoperative body mass index was 40 kg/m2. Most a robotic approach. Six three were noted have minor major postoperative...
ABSTRACT Marjolin ulcers are aggressive, cutaneous malignancies typically arising from chronic, nonhealing wounds. The presence of an obvious defect often masks this potentially life-threatening condition, making detection difficult and frequently leading to delayed diagnosis. Most cases squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in histology. Unlike for other common malignancies, no clear guidelines or protocols place early surveillance management ulcers. Given the aggressive nature malignancy when...
Background: Submucosal tumors (SMT) of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) are rare entities, which often present a significant challenge to surgeons. Prior studies have reported only single-modality approaches. We report our experience with SMTs using multiple surgical techniques intent margin-negative resection organ preservation. Methods: Between 2001 2022, total 55 patients underwent for SMT or GEJ at institution. reviewed electronic medical records obtain demographic...
