Morbid obesity is a well-defined chronic disease, the incidence of which constantly rising. Surgical treatment morbid has produced superior outcomes compared to conventional weight loss measures. Currently, there gap in literature regarding long-term outcomes. Our single-institution, retrospective cohort study aims evaluate outcomes, comorbidity reduction, and adverse effects at 10 years following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD), Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG). We...
One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is gaining increasing acceptance as a simple, safe, and effective operation for treating morbid obesity. Data comparing this procedure with the most biliopancreatic diversions (BPD) remain scarce, studies evaluate OAGB against standard Roux-en-Y (RYGB).To present mid-term results of comparison RYGB, OAGB, our modification BPD in an exclusively non-superobese population, regarding safety, efficacy, preservation weight loss, well late postoperative...
<i>Background:</i> Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are uncommon tumors with varying potential for malignancy. Although traumatic splenic rupture is common, spontaneous a rare event. <i>Case Report:</i> We present an unusual case rupture, due to otherwise asymptomatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma tail pancreas. <i>Conclusion:</i> A tumor may uncommonly as probably venous congestion and infiltration spleen, requiring emergency surgical treatment.
Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (ALGIB) can occur in patients on anticoagulant therapy (either warfarin or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs)). Use of NOACs has been increasing compared to recent years. We analyzed with ALGIB anticoagulation and characteristics, management clinical outcome treated versus warfarin.All two (affiliated) centers during a 7-year period were evaluated. Characteristics between NOACs.Out the 587 identified study period, 43 (7.3%) 68 (11.6%) warfarin....
The aim was to compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with the percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for management of acute lithiasic cholecystitis in geriatric patients and investigate decision-making using frailty assessment. A retrospective analysis performed all aged over 65 years who were treated at our hospital a period 5 years. Patients divided LC PC groups. In total, 111 (54.1%) subjected 94 (45.9%) PC. American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) Clinical Frailty Score lower group....
